Most people call me BK (my initials). I'm a software engineer living in London, currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Contentful .
Background
My professional journey started in Civil Engineering - I hold a Bachelor's degree in Civil and Water Engineering and worked as a Civil Engineer for 6 years. My path then led me through Geographic Information Science before finding my true passion in Software Engineering.
I'm also building Dealbase.Africa , where we collect and share data on deal activity in the African early stage tech ecosystem. Before Contentful, I worked at Anaplan , Sigma Digital , ESRI South Africa and RAMM Technologies .
What I'm Doing Now
Writing & Sharing
I write the Just Reflections newsletter and maintain a digital garden documenting my learning journey.
Speaking & Community
I love speaking at events and have a speaker rider if you'd like to invite me to yours.
