The work continues. Here is what it is pointed at.

01

Goals for 2026

  1. Finish the first year of BEng Mechatronic Engineering at distinction level, across all three disciplines.

    Underway · mid-year

  2. Contribute something that actually lands to the PhD research publication with Delecia Davids and the Stellenbosch team.

    In progress

  3. Get the campus vendor business through registration and generate its first revenue.

    In registration

  4. Compete in at least two more hackathons this year — after the Isazi Consultancy build, the format suits the way I work.

    One down

  5. Secure an engineering or research internship — one where the technical work and the communication work both matter.

    Open · applications welcome

  6. Run the Comrades Marathon inside two years. Eighty-nine kilometres is the natural next threshold after the Drakensberg.
