About

I'm a full-stack developer based in Ballito, South Africa, currently leading web and app development at Comfort Shooting, a digital marketing agency serving clients across KwaZulu-Natal — healthcare, legal, hospitality, dental, agriculture, retail, and education. Over the past two years I've shipped production sites in Wix Studio, native-feeling apps in React and React Native, and native iOS work in Swift.

My focus is shifting from writing individual features to designing the systems that write, test, and ship those features — what I think of as agentic operating systems. I run my own agent stack to automate research, content, and ops work end to end, and I document what breaks and what works as I build it in public.
