Nkosingiphile Nkabinde - Aspiring Software Developer

Aspiring software developer and data scientist with a strong analytical mindset, adaptability, and determination—shaped by my background in both digital and retail sectors. I achieved distinctions in Mathematics, Physical Sciences, English, IsiZulu, and Life Orientation during matric, but my higher education journey after school did not go as I initially anticipated. Despite setbacks and frequent changes in course, I have never given up or lost my passion for learning. My commitment is reflected in earning multiple industry certifications, including Microsoft Azure, AWS Cloud Practitioner, IBM Data Science Foundations, and SFIA Level 3. I actively embrace continuous learning through platforms like LinkedIn Learning and YouTube, always striving to expand my skills and stay updated in technology. No matter the obstacles, I remain dedicated to growth and motivated to use technology to solve real-world problems. My recent work includes participation in the July 2025 Cohort Hackathon organized by PLP Academy.
