🏗️ Repository Structure & GitFlow
We use a GitFlow branching strategy to organize our development:
- Main – Production-ready code.
- Dev – Major development changes and integration.
- Feature – Temporary branches for developing new features.
- Bugfix – For fixing non-critical bugs.
- Hotfix – For addressing critical production issues that need immediate fixing.
Pros of this approach:
- Provides a clear separation between stable releases, ongoing development, and feature work.
- Ensures a well-structured workflow for large projects and planned releases.
- Supports parallel development of multiple features without affecting stability.
- Feature branches enable focused development efforts, reducing the risk of introducing bugs in the main codebase.
Branching Strategy:
main– Stable production codedev– Active development branchfeature/*– New features (e.g.feature/auth)release/*– Pre-demo brancheshotfix/*– Emergency fixes

I am a 3rd-year Information and Knowledge Systems student at the University of Pretoria, passionate about software development, system design, and performance optimization. For this project, I am focused on leveraging efficient architectures, robust programming techniques, and intuitive user interfaces to create scalable and user-friendly solutions. |
|
I am a final-year Computer Science student at the University of Pretoria. I have a strong passion for Cybersecurity, Networking, and Data Science. I have a natural aptitude for problem-solving and a deep curiosity for learning, which drives me to continuously expand my knowledge and refine my skills. My focus is on developing efficient, secure, and high-performing software systems that address real-world challenges. Beyond programming, I enjoy exploring emerging technologies and I find great fulfillment in sharing knowledge, mentoring others, and contributing to the community. I believe that software technology holds great power to transform industries and improve lives, and I am eager to collaborate with others to build innovative and impactful solutions. |

I'm a final-year Computer Science student at the University of Pretoria with a strong interest in data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. My academic journey has included coursework in these areas alongside core software development modules, supported by hands-on experience with languages like Java, C++, and R. I enjoy building thoughtful, user-focused tools and thrive in environments that value collaboration, creativity, and continuous learning. |
|
As a final-year Computer Science student, I enjoy building scalable, secure, and creative software solutions. I'm particularly drawn to frontend development because it allows me to combine logic with visual creativity, bringing interfaces to life in a way that's both functional and engaging. Since I started coding, I've found the challenge of transforming ideas into real, working systems both thrilling and deeply rewarding, especially when powered by caffeine and determination. Outside of programming, I'm passionate about photography, which fuels my eye for design and detail. Whether I'm crafting a UI or capturing the perfect shot, I thrive on combining technical skill with creativity. |

As a third-year Information and Knowledge Systems student, I get the best of both worlds—Computer Science and Data Science. This mix fuels my passion for playful problem-solving and diving into the weird and wonderful world of tech. Whether it's figuring out why something broke (again) or building something from scratch, I love making things work—and work well. I thrive on collaboration, especially with people who question the norm, think boldly, and aren't afraid to break (and remake) things. Every project is a chance to grow, every line of code a puzzle piece, and every bug an unexpected plot twist. I'm always keen to learn, build, and be part of projects that make a real impact. |
