I have a deep passion for physical science and enjoy exploring a wide range of topics within this field. In addition to my scientific interests, I find philosophies that deal with scientific issues to be intriguing and an essential aspect of being a realist. I approach my work with discipline and strive to create an organized environment, both physically and digitally. My natural curiosity drives me to continuously expand my knowledge and abilities in order to deepen my understanding of nature. I am most comfortable when my work is organized, as it allows me to focus and excel in my tasks. At home, I am a do-it-yourself enthusiast, always eager to tackle projects on my own. I find great joy in expressing my creativity and building things by hand. This hands-on approach allows me to showcase my unique perspective and problem-solving skills. Furthermore, I maintain a lifestyle characterized by sober habits. I neither smoke nor drink, and I have never been involved in drugs or any criminal activities. As a result, I possess a clear criminal record and maintain good credit ratings with my bank. Running my own business, Novatio Electronics (Pty)Ltd, has provided me with valuable insights into the disciplines of operations and administration. I have learned the importance of efficiency and structure in getting things done, as well as the significance of thorough documentation and legal nuances. This experience has further enhanced my ability to develop solutions independently and has fostered a heightened sense of self-reliance. Overall, my personality is marked by a combination of technical aptitude, analytical thinking, and a passion for physical science. Alongside my disciplined work ethic and organized approach, these traits contribute to my ability to excel in various professional endeavours.
