Education

I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. From a young age, I was passionate about computers and digital technology. This led me to study at the University of Johannesburg, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology in 2006.

While at university, I started working part-time as a content writer for online gambling review sites, where I developed a deep interest in casino games, especially slots and table games. Later, as crash games such as Aviator gained popularity, I naturally gravitated toward them.

Experience

With over 10 years of experience as a content writer, editor, and now editor-in-chief, I have taken part in numerous industry events and iGaming conventions — including SIGMA Africa 2023 and the Southern Africa iGaming Summit 2023.
