Azure Administrator & Software Engineer
Azure administration and software engineering across C#/.NET and TypeScript — growing into systems architecture.
I'm an Azure administrator and software engineer. Day to day I keep cloud environments reliable, secure, and cost-aware, and I build the applications that run on them in C#/.NET, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Flutter.
My focus is the craft of engineering: writing clear, maintainable code, automating the boring parts, and understanding the business context before I reach for a solution. I'm deliberately growing toward systems architecture — designing for resilience and growth, not just the next feature.
I care about mentoring, engineering cultures rooted in ownership, and translating technical decisions into outcomes stakeholders can rally behind.
"Good architecture is earned one well-made decision at a time."
Bahale Codes Software|2020 - 2021
Built full-stack web applications for clients, establishing a strong foundation in JavaScript ecosystems, client communication, and end-to-end delivery.
Digital Solution Foundry|2022 - Present
Evolved from feature development into systems thinking - designing application architectures, mentoring junior developers, and driving technical decisions across projects.
North-West University|Graduated 2022
Formal education in computer science fundamentals, object-oriented design, and software engineering principles.
Administering Azure environments for reliability, security, and cost efficiency — resources, identity, and delivery pipelines.
Building backends and APIs in C#/.NET and reactive frontends in JavaScript/TypeScript and Flutter across modern web stacks.
Growing into systems architecture: designing maintainable, scalable systems and sound API and data models.
Raising team quality through code review, mentorship, agile delivery, and AI-assisted, spec-driven development.
Privacy-first personal-finance PWA — tracks bills, debts, subscriptions and income, and imports FNB/ABSA bank-statement PDFs (even scanned or password-protected) to reconcile spending automatically. Offline-capable and installable, with optional AI financial check-ins.
Production corporate holding-company site on Next.js 14, with serverless route handlers powering contact email and an AI diagnostics tool built on the OpenAI Responses API.
Booking-first platform built as a monorepo over PostgreSQL — asset listing, availability lookup by asset and date, and conflict-checked booking requests with owner-side management.
Healthcare management system centred on patient queue and appointment management, with a companion admin portal for clinic staff.
Responsive studio site for a photography & media-production brand — a content-driven portfolio with modal gallery and image viewer.
I treat AI as an engineering collaborator, not an autocomplete. My workflow is spec-driven: before writing code, I work with Claude and ChatGPT to brainstorm the problem, pin down requirements, and write a clear specification.
From that spec I generate an implementation plan broken into small, reviewable tasks, then build against it — using the models to draft, refactor, and review while I own the architecture and the decisions. This very site was rebuilt in Next.js exactly this way.
The result is speed without losing rigor: specs catch ambiguity early, plans keep scope honest, and AI-assisted review lifts code quality.
I am always open to discussing technology strategy, systems architecture, or potential collaborations.
