Staff Engineer
Polyglot Engineer with a passion for tackling complex challenges and a knack for bringing ideas to life (masochist at heart, I guess). With a multitude of production app
launches—predominantly 0-to-1 projects—I’ve contributed to companies of various sizes and worked on diverse, polar-opposite products, which has been incredibly rewarding. While I’ve loved every project I’ve undertaken, I’m now seeking a role where I can either deeply align with the product or immerse myself in web3 or AI—a field I’m eager to learn and innovate in.

Experience
Founder | Full-Stack Engineer
blackplate 2021 - 2024
I have been working with various early-stage startups to create scalable products, as the projects varied in size and scope on some of them I was the sole full-stack engineer and on others I was the lead engineer with a team.
Senior Software Engineer
TomTom 2020 - 2022
At TomTom, I formed part of the innovation studio, a sort of “hidden” department where I and 2 other team members (a designer and a marketeer) validated, created, and reiterated a new motorcycling app titled 'Roadcaptain' (now known as GO Ride).
Lead Software Engineer
MyCujoo 2019 - 2020
When I joined MyCujoo I was tasked with adopting and fixing the broadcast product which at the time was very problematic. I re-engineered the solution to use React Native so that there could be a single code base for both iOS and Android while keeping the actual streaming part natively in Swift and Kotlin.
Software Engineer
MADE Code 2017 - 2019
At Made Code I worked on various exciting projects but the one I am most proud of has to be 'Cancer Dojo' on which I was the lead full-stack engineer on.
Web Developer
BNRY 2015 - 2017
Had an amazing experience working here with a lot of opportunities to learn and grow. I was the lead engineer on a variety of progressive web and tablet applications for large companies such as Discovery and Vodacom.
Web Developer
Magnetic Creative 2011 - 2015
This was essentially my start, I worked on various websites and web-based applications for very different projects and tight timelines on both the back-end and front-end.
