Software DeveloperBackend & Platform

I build backend systems, and ship them into products people actually use.

Graduate Software Engineer at Boxfusion, currently shipping features into Shesha — an open-source low-code framework used to build production line-of-business applications. Before that: WeThinkCode_, and two and a half years of Computer Science at Wits.

FinTrack

A personal finance API built to get money handling right, not just feature-complete. Amounts are BigDecimal end to end, so a balance never drifts by a cent. JWT auth, Dockerised, deployed on AWS.

PromptForge

A four-person build: a platform that turns a natural-language app description into a generated full-stack project, pushes it to a new GitHub repository, and deploys it. I owned the code-generation engine and the validate-and-repair loop that stops generated code shipping broken.
