About
Currently working as a Senior Software Engineer, focusing on building modern mobile experiences. I love working with Flutter and exploring clean architecture principles to create robust, scalable applications.
My journey has been quite the ride - from mechanical engineering in mining to healthcare tech, and now fintech. This diverse background helps me approach software problems with a unique perspective, combining engineering principles with modern development practices.
What I'm Working On
Mobile Development
Building modern, user-centric mobile applications using Flutter and Clean Architecture. Love creating seamless experiences that users enjoy! 📱
Healthcare Digital Platform
Previously led development of mobile apps that helped 200,000+ South Africans access their healthcare benefits easily. Built with React Native and cloud architecture, this project taught me a lot about scaling apps for high user loads. 🏥
Botstory
A side project that makes surveys feel like natural conversations. Built with ReactJS and modern cloud architecture, it's been a fun way to explore conversational UI. 🤖
Tech I Love Using
Flutter
My go-to for cross-platform apps. Smooth animations and hot reload make development a joy!
BLoC Pattern
Clean state management that makes complex flows simple. Great for testing too.
Clean Architecture
Makes codebases maintainable and scalable. API changes? No problem!
Dart
Like TypeScript but better. Sound null safety is a game-changer.
React Native
Built apps serving 200k+ users. Fast development cycles.
TypeScript
Type safety that catches errors before they happen. Love it!
Firebase
Perfect for MVPs and real-time features. Quick to set up.
AWS
Serverless with Lambda + API Gateway. Scales like a dream.
