BSc (Hons) Computer Science

University of Cape Town

Honours year — coursework in advanced algorithms, networks, security, and a research thesis.

Thesis: Lokémon — a system that generates location-based game objects from OpenStreetMap data, so a game can populate any city in the world with thematically appropriate creatures and items without manual content authoring. Shipped in 2011, about five years before Pokémon GO.

Graduated Honours with Distinction.

I also tutored CompSci 1, 2 and 3 between 2009 and 2011 — Java, C++, data structures, OS concepts, threading, networking.
