Blessed is a UCT CS graduate currently working as a software engineer, and his work experience has mostly been in the fintech and payments space which he has grown to enjoy. Currently he works at JUMO, an African market leader in striving to provide financial services to the unbanked in remote African markets.

Blessed loves mentoring and tutoring younger aspiring software developers and CS students. Having only first encountered coding in second year university, he is fully aware of the learning hurdles students can face trying to navigate a CS curriculum, and hence derives fulfillment in helping out, especially explaining concepts in a relatable way.
