UI is the saddle, the stirrups, and the reins. UX is the feeling you get being able to ride the horse.

Some fun facts about me
🖥️ My undergraduate degree was made up of 80% computer programming subjects (Delphi, Java, C++ and even some Assembler 🤢)
🗨️ I have a knack for languages, am currently learning French via Duolingo, and have started leaning Japanese and German. I’m fully bilingual (Afrikaans & English).
😑 Pet peeve: when people mistakenly say “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” instead of the original, “the whole is other than the sum of its parts”.
🤓 I play DnD every now and again (favourite character to date: Half-Orc Bard), and love a good, story-rich RPG or puzzle PC game.
🇿🇦 I’m originally from South Africa and immigrated to 🇨🇦 Canada in Oct 2022. (I have Permanent Residence)
