Production credentials, not certifications

Real infrastructure experience at scale. Builder, not just operator.

Current

Senior Systems Operations Engineer

Managing production AWS infrastructure across multi-region deployments for an AI-for-manufacturing company. EC2 rightsizing that cut real costs, EBS gp2-to-gp3 migrations, Prometheus/Grafana observability, ECS/Fargate container orchestration, WireGuard VPN infrastructure, and Elasticsearch clusters.

Building

Technical Lead — Wheels Platform

Architecting a B2B African travel-tech platform. Full-stack development, CI/CD pipelines, containerised microservices, Kubernetes deployment, and API integrations. I build systems end-to-end, not just maintain them.

Product

Self-Hosted AI CRM Database

A private, self-hosted CRM and member intelligence platform for teams who need full control over their data. AI-powered enrichment via Claude, Gemini, Kimi, and OpenAI. OSINT capabilities: multi-engine web scraping, WHOIS lookups, SSL certificate inspection, and email discovery. Flask backend with enterprise auth (email/password + Azure AD SSO), CSV import/export, and a real-time dashboard. Your data stays on your infrastructure.

Based

Cape Town, South Africa

Deep understanding of the African tech ecosystem — local funding cycles, infrastructure challenges, and the unique constraints that teams across the continent navigate daily.
