I build Kikstart, a multi-tenant SaaS platform for fast-tracked custom development. A customer's solution starts from maintained modules on the shared platform and is extended with custom features, instead of being built from scratch.

I built in-product AI agents: a self-serve agent that creates a customer's store, and a merchant assistant inside the admin.

I develop AI-first: I run Claude Code in loops and scheduled routines, and write custom skills that encode my development workflow and software patterns.

At Insight Consulting, and then Kodelab (a custom software business spun out of Insight), I designed the architecture and infrastructure for a suite of web and mobile applications (distribution and retail) that became core to a division of one of South Africa's largest retailers. I led the development team that built and extended it, and owned the technical roadmap and delivery.

I also led ad hoc enterprise projects for other customers, taking each from scoping and architecture through development and delivery. I engaged with customers and maintained those relationships.

I was a full-stack senior developer on an in-house no-code framework, and led ad hoc projects.

The framework handled registrations and payments, processing tens of thousands of banking transactions a day.

I also worked on online gambling utility programs (loyalty, auditing, promotions).

I was a full-stack developer and development team lead, working on accounting, sales and distribution, and warehousing applications, and led the team behind the SHEQ (Safety, Health, Environment, Quality) product suite.

I travelled extensively across South Africa and Africa for customer support and product rollout, and engaged senior business executives on sales and technical initiatives.

This was a hybrid role with accounting and IT duties. On the accounting side I was initially the cost accountant and thereafter the management accountant responsible for overseeing the accounts department.

The IT projects were my introduction to software development: I managed the rollout of the Syspro ERP, oversaw development of in-house shop floor applications, and developed in-house sales reporting applications.
