Recently moving back to  my home country I decided to start fresh with a new career path, specifically Digital Marketing. This right here is my first site which showcases who I am. Hopefully I can land a job before going broke, so to all the recruiters out there, hit me up.

“Jack of all trades, Master of none”  is what I think of myself, or maybe I just like the quote a lot. 

My two cents to the internet

On the 13th of July 1999, the dude in the picture was born. Spent the first 6 years of my life in Joburg and the following 7 years after in Cape Town living the normal South African life. At 13 my life changed drastically when my family decided to move to Mauritius, a little island just East of Madagascar. (Be sure to check out the blog for more about the island). Anyway, I spent 10 years there so its basically my second home. Now at the age of 24 almost 25 I moved back to Cape Town.

Other than my background, I enjoy the following things and consider them to be essential in my life – Allah (God), Calisthenics, Football, Dota 2 and anime along with family and friends. 

Mauritian Dad plus South African Mom and you get an Indian looking Dude, like WTF.

Work Experience

Ahhhhhh, the lovely world of “professionalism” if you know what I mean. 

KYC Analyst
2019 - 2022

As a KYC (Know Your Customer) analyst, my core responsibility revolved around the meticulous process of onboarding clients. Diligently conducted thorough checks on potential clients, verifying their identities, assessing risk factors, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. 

Fraud and Payment Executive
2023

As a Fraud and Payment Executive, I focused daily on detecting and preventing fraudulent activities in the organization’s payment systems. This entailed analyzing transactional data, identifying suspicious patterns, and collaborating with cross-functional teams like risk management, compliance, and finance to investigate and implement effective fraud prevention strategies.

Digital Marketing
2024

This one right here is pretty self explanatory, still being a novice within the field my main focus is trying to land a job as a digital marketer to gain further experience and knowledge, if not there’s always spending hours on Youtube as a pastime. 

This is the blog where I post about anything and everything I find interesting,

or just about me – who doesn’t like talking bout themselves. 

Alienated in Mauritius

Moving to Mauritius at 13 and living there for 10 years was not the typical Island experience you would think. Imagine looking like the locals but being a complete Gringo, Ouff.
