HELLO,
I AM SAM.

I am a Computer Engineering graduate and a current Bachelor Of Eng Tech (Honours) student at Cape Peninsula University Of Technology (CPUT). My central focus is mainly on the Systems Engineering, This is the motivattion behind the choice of languages I use (C, Rust and Bash , amongst the rest). Lately my focus has expanded towards Software Development, specifically, Machine Learning and AI Engineering Research, I have worked on a few research projects within my Honours year, whereby we had to research why certain ML algorithms behave in a certain way, and how to optimise them, more of this on the project's section. My current research project explores the alternate ways of using light to transmit data, specifically using Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), while integrating both ASYM & SYM encryption.

I have 2 github accounts, one which i have been using during my university years to share work with colleagues and collaborate, then the other is one i have created recently for my professional work, free of vibe-coded work and more for intentional projects For the purpose of seeing the work i have been involved in, You can visit Ivyson, Or, for my primary account that will carry our my work, post-university, check out : SamukeloGift
