I'm a 22-year-old entrepreneur who grew up in South Africa.
I fell in love with business at a young age. Not in a "Shark Tank" way, but in a quiet, persistent way, always thinking about how things work, why some systems break, and how they could be built better. I've had the urge to be an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember, and I started seriously building businesses when I was 17.
Some things worked, some didn't. But every attempt taught me something about people, systems, and myself. More than anything, it confirmed that this is what I want to spend my life doing.
Right now, I'm building 04 Systems. It feels like the first time I've been able to fully lean into how my brain works, thinking in systems, connecting ideas, and approaching problems in slightly unconventional, neurodivergent ways. We're living in a huge AI hype cycle, and I've felt the frustration of how little honest, practical help is actually out there. My goal is to change that by building things that genuinely help business owners, not just impress them.
Outside of work, I love photography, it forces me to slow down and notice details. And I'm a huge football fan (the real football).
At the end of the day, this is my way of finally satisfying that long-held urge to build, and to help others build things that matter too.
