HELLO, I'M
Cleve
Williams.
Computer Engineering student, builder, gamer, problem-solver — and probably someone who will spend way too long figuring out why something isn't working.

A LITTLE CONTEXT
This is the part that doesnt exist on my CV.
I'm studying Computer Engineering at CPUT, but that's only one part of the story.
I like understanding how things work — whether that's a program, a network, a Linux machine, a PLC, a piece of hardware or a cluster of computers. Most of my favourite learning experiences have happened when something broke and I had to figure out why.
Outside engineering, I'm into Gaming, Music, YouTube, and Anime. I'm a big fan of finding something interesting and going down the rabbit hole until I know way more about it than I planned to.

THE ENGINEERING SIDE
My brain
My brain
likes systems.
My degree has taken me from programming and electronics into networking, automation, embedded systems and Linux. The fun part is where those areas overlap.

Cluster Competition.
My team and I qualified to represent CPUT at the CHPC Student Cluster Competition National Round 2026. The experience pushed me into the kind of practical systems work you can't fully learn from a textbook.
