About Ntokozo

Writing this paragraph was surprisingly challenging for me because it made me realize that I don't know a lot about myself. I think it's safe to say that I am still in the process of "finding myself". However, there are some things I do know about myself. I have an unwavering love for listening to music, it's something I do every day without fail.

I consider myself an open person, or at least I strive to be. I find equal joy in both indoor and outdoor activities. Without a doubt, my family holds the utmost importance in my life. I have a deep-seated love for learning and the thrill of discovering new facts of myself. Interestingly, I'm drawn to challenges, even though they often bring me significant anxiety.

Where I grew up

I grew up in a place called Daveyton, where I lived with my parents and two siblings. Growing up, I thought it was a wonderful place, but as I grew older, I started to notice all the negative aspects of living in a township. Consequently, I began spending most of my days indoors, trying to protect myself from the toxicity of the area.

Why I am part of Whakatau

I applied to be a part of Whakatau because ever since the tenth grade, I've been oddly fascinated by computers and how they work (even though I didn't know anything about coding). So, I thought that Whakatau would be a perfect fit for me because I have a strong interest in learning about computers, and I believe that we can make a significant impact on the world through an app or website.

Being a part of the Whakatau team has been an incredible experience so far because it has given me the opportunity to pursue my passion. My colleagues are genuinely amazing people, and I enjoy working with them. Together, I believe we can achieve great things.
