Meet Veekash


Who Am I?

Greetings! I'm Veekash, and my passions are an eclectic mix of intriguing pursuits. From the thrilling realms of literature and coding to the comforting embrace of a well-brewed cup of coffee and the excitement of board games, my interests span a wide spectrum. While I harbor a deep affection for technology, I tend to steer clear of the all-consuming world of social media. My reasoning? I firmly believe that it diverts our attention from real-life experiences.

In my free time, you'll often find me immersed in the captivating pages of science fiction novels or engrossed in documentaries that unravel the mysteries of space . The cosmos has always held me in awe, and I harbor dreams of one day setting foot on Mars. Although I’m not fond of spicy food, my willingness to try it on numerous occasions shows my openness to new experiences. This trait, coupled with my continuous learning, shows that I’m adaptable and always open to change.


Where I am From?

I used to call Johannesburg my home. It's a city filled with life and energy. Tall buildings, busy streets, and a never-ending stream of people that's what surrounded me. My family, consisting of my mother and father, made our little corner of Johannesburg warm and inviting. It was a simple, but happy life, right there in the heart of the city.


Why I Joined Whakatau

I've always been passionate about development and the limitless possibilities it offers in today's tech-driven world. When I came across Whakatau,, I knew this was the place where I could transform my aspirations into reality. So, I eagerly applied to join Whakatau as an intern. Moreover, the culture of collaboration at Whakatau is unparalleled. The open workspace fosters communication and teamwork. I find myself constantly learning from my colleagues, whether it's a new coding technique or a fresh perspective on problem-solving. It's an environment where ideas flow freely, and the collective intelligence of the team is harnessed to create innovative solutions.

What do I hope to get out of this experience? Well, it's not just about earning a certification, although that's undoubtedly a significant milestone. I hope to emerge from this internship as a well-rounded developer with a deep understanding of Azure technologies, ready to tackle real-world challenges with confidence. I also aim to build lasting relationships with my colleagues, who share the same passion for technology and innovation.
