01 CRAFT
End-to-end ownership
From data models, server-side security rules, and Cloud Run pipelines to the final mobile gesture and onboarding flow.

Two products, shaped around people and the small moments that change what they can do. Here are the stories behind them.
Selected work
2026 — nowAbout me
Full-Stack & Mobile Product Builder
I like building products that cross the line between software and real life.
I'm a developer based in South Africa building full-stack web apps, native mobile experiences, and business automations. Outside of day-to-day engineering, this site is my working notebook—a place where I document the products I'm shipping from scratch.
Whether it's a multi-sport discovery platform with cloud video pipelines or an alarm clock that only stops when you walk across the room and tap a physical NFC capsule, I care most about clear trust boundaries, tactile details, and shipping things people actually use.
02 REALITY
Shaped around real habits
Software works best when it respects how people actually behave—early in the morning, on the field, or inside a busy operations team.
03 RECORD
Documented as it happens
Every project here keeps a dated changelog of architecture shifts, security hardening, and product lessons rather than a static pitch.
Making useful things, learning in public, and keeping a record of how the work changes.
