He joined Martin Bester on the Breakfast show on Thursday.
Kynoch says he gained a huge interest in game development, programming and graphic design at the age of 11.
“Since then, I have taught myself absolutely everything that I know in this regard by using free learning resources on the internet and computer science books purchased online.”
