Full-stack developer specializing in payments, fintech, and platform engineering. From monoliths to microservices, banking integrations to AI agents — I turn complex requirements into production-ready code.
Donation platform for an NGO with a gamified "plant a plot" experience. Donors select plots on a visual grid, pay, and see their name appear once payment confirms.
Time tracking app that prompts you at set intervals to log what you're working on. Tag entries by project, role, or billable status, then generate filtered timesheets.
Grocery tracking app with smart product search and price comparison. Create shopping lists and find the best prices across different stores.
Platform for tracking SME loans — schedule payments, handle early or partial payments, and export reports for accounting systems like Xero.
I'm an engineer who enjoys the full arc of product development — from whiteboarding architecture with a customer, to writing the Kotlin that makes it work, to watching the dashboards after it ships.
My career has been rooted in payments and fintech. At Electrum I learned how money actually moves in South Africa. At Lipa I helped build a platform from scratch — multi-tenancy, white labelling, PCI compliance, the works. Now at Finist I'm applying that foundation to insurance, combining quote engines with AI agents.
I gravitate toward problems that sit at the intersection of technical complexity and business impact: API design that's secure but developer-friendly, config-driven systems that reduce code changes, integrations that just work.
Whether it's a technical challenge, product strategy, or just a conversation about payments and fintech — I'm always happy to connect.
