Experience

Where I've applied my craft

Not just code full systems, real clients, corporate environments, and products people actually use. Every role made me harder to replace.

Founder

BaySoftware

Founder & Software Consultant

Port Elizabeth · South AfricaNov 2025 – Present
Running a consultancy solo teaches you everything client management, scoping, delivery, and support. I own every part of a project from first conversation to handover, which means any company hiring me gets someone who understands the full picture, not just their slice of it.
Shipped full-stack solutions within 2–4 weeks across fintech, edtech, and healthcare proving I can move fast, make decisions independently, and deliver production-ready software without hand-holding.
Built MatricMate, an AI learning assistant, in 48 hours using the OpenAI API from idea to deployed product. Rapid prototyping and production readiness are not mutually exclusive.
Services span web apps, payment integrations, hosting, graphic design, corporate documents, digital media, and AI agent development a rare combination that makes me effective beyond just writing code.
