About Sihle

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid... Outward things will disclose themselves." - Bruce Lee

I resonate with this quote as it describes me perfectly. Having worked in various industries from Electrical to Marine, the one commonality I have found to achieving success in a project. Is the ability to listen, understand and find solutions to everyday problems. This is what I hope to bring to the Civic Tech Industry, making a meaningful difference by collaborating with like minded people.

I come with a positive, can do attitude and truly believe that any issue can be solved.
