Vukona Maritz Portfolio

About Me

I’m Vukona Jubby Maritz, a final-year IT student at Vaal University of Technology, graduating in March/April 2026. I have a strong foundation in programming, web development, and software engineering, with skills in Java, Python, and JavaScript. I’ve earned certifications in cloud infrastructure (Oracle), full stack development (FNB App Academy), and networking & cybersecurity (Cisco). While exposed to multiple IT domains, my strongest interests lie in programming and cybersecurity — where I enjoy building secure, scalable solutions. I’m actively seeking opportunities to grow as a developer in a team that values clean code, collaboration, and continuous learning.
