Independent design & engineering, Cape Town
Building digital experiences that are functional, meaningful and beautiful.
I design and build digital products end to end: research, interface, code and the deploy that puts them in front of people.

What I actually do, day to day
Production code, written to be read twice
Next.js and TypeScript end to end: typed APIs, versioned migrations, tests around the parts that matter, and a deploy pipeline your team can run without me.
- Next.js, React and TypeScript
- PostgreSQL schema and migration design
- Payments, auth and third-party integrations
- CI, preview environments and observability
One person across the whole path means fewer handovers, no translation losses, and a single person accountable when something needs fixing at eleven at night.
