Full-stack software engineer — Cape Town, ZA · GMT+2

I build scalable web systems with the care of a designer.

Currently at Precise Digital, working across React, Next.js, Node and C#/.NET — from financial models to production infrastructure. I came to engineering through years of design, and it still shows in the details.

Technical depth, shaped by a design background.

I'm a full-stack engineer based in Cape Town, South Africa. My path ran from high-level graphic design for esports brands into IT engineering and, now, software development — so I think about systems and interfaces in the same breath.

I work comfortably across the stack: C#/.NET and PHP on the back end, modern TypeScript and React on the front, with real experience in Azure DevOps and financial modelling. I like building robust infrastructure that stays pleasant to use.
