Nkurisani Austin Mabasa

I grew up in Germiston watching businesses around me struggle with problems software could solve, and people left behind by a digital economy that moved fast and built very little for communities like mine.

I decided fairly early that I wanted to be on the building side of that rather than the waiting side. That's still the reason I do this.

Right now I'm in my final year of a Diploma in Information Technology at Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology. Alongside it I've shipped an AI productivity platform, placed second at a national hackathon, and built this site.

Outside of code I train kickboxing, which is where I learned that being wrong in front of people is how you get better at anything.
