About

I'm a software engineer and solutions architect with over a decade of experience building enterprise-grade systems. My career has been defined by taking on the complex problems others find hard to solve — leading the development of high-stakes features like cross-border payments, corporate onboarding systems, and large-scale third-party integrations with the likes of Visa. In 2024, I founded TechnovaHub — a technology company built on one simple belief: that great software should work for your business, not against it. Through TechnovaHub, I've taken that enterprise-level expertise and made it accessible to businesses of all sizes, delivering custom software, IT consulting, and AI & data solutions without the jargon or the inflated price tags. We've already shipped two products of our own — MonitorDashboard, an enterprise Azure cloud monitoring platform, and SellHub, a full-featured marketplace platform built for the South African market. I thrive at the intersection of technical depth and business impact — whether that's architecting a microservices system from scratch, leading a development team, or helping a business figure out where technology can genuinely move the needle.
