04About
I’m a senior full stack developer from the Eastern Cape, South Africa. I build the interfaces people use, the services that power them, and the architecture that keeps everything connected.
My sweet spot is realtime data, offline resilience and clean architecture, plus the kind of tools that make a developer’s day a little better. Today that means engineering at GuestRevu, and building products like EventSync, Prefect and ticket.sh at SyncFac.
Outside the code, I’m exploring new ideas or writing music about software architecture. Yes, that’s a thing.
Live dashboards, seat maps, leaderboards and chat over WebSockets, so everyone works from the same picture.
Door, till and classroom apps that keep working without signal and sync safely when it returns.
Interfaces, APIs, databases, containers and CI/CD, designed as one system from the start.
