Engineering through practice

At 15, facing a severe medical situation with my family’s dog that we couldn't afford to treat made me realize the necessity of building practical skills and financial independence. I taught myself software engineering to solve real problems and create tangible opportunities.

That same year, I founded StellarCode to deliver custom software solutions. Today, at 18, I build and maintain active SaaS platforms, security tools integrated into CI/CD pipelines, and custom enterprise software.

Funding public projects in Namibia

A central objective of my commercial software work is generating sustainable funding for local community initiatives in Namibia. Revenue from software development directly supports two initiatives:

Community Kitchens: Establishing self-sustaining meal services in underserved neighborhoods.
Free Tech Academy: Operating tuition-free robotics and software training for young local students.

Objective: Building software businesses that fund long-term community infrastructure.
