About
I'm a software engineer based in Cape Town, South Africa, who enjoys solving complex engineering problems and building production software from end to end. I design systems across the entire stack — from database schemas and API contracts to performant user interfaces and the small interaction details that shape great user experiences. I believe good software comes from thoughtful architecture, pragmatic engineering decisions, and an obsession with quality.
Over the past two years, I've built and shipped production systems ranging from STDNT GEAR — a B2B custom apparel platform I architected and developed independently — to enterprise SaaS at NewIQ used by distribution businesses across multiple countries. Working as the sole engineer on major projects has taught me to own every stage of development — system design, backend architecture, frontend engineering, deployment, performance, security, and long-term maintainability.
I enjoy understanding how systems work beneath the surface. Whether it's designing scalable APIs, modelling databases, solving concurrency issues, improving performance, or refining the last loading animation, I'm driven by building software that is both technically sound and genuinely enjoyable to use.
