Founding engineer & senior full-stack developer based in Cape Town. 20+ years shipping production software, last few years in small teams alongside founders.

• 📱 Offline-first, local-first apps: React Native and React systems built to behave well at venues, festivals, and clinics where the network isn't a given
• 🤖 AI-assisted development as a daily practice: Claude, RAG pipelines, and the messy work of integrating LLMs into products that already have users
• 🧱 Founding-engineer work: owning architecture end-to-end alongside non-technical founders, from POC to production
• 💸 High-stakes UX: pricing forms, sync engines, clinical data flows; the kind of surface area where a bad render costs real money
• ✈️ gavr, an offsite planning platform for remote teams (solo-built, paying design partner)
