Senior full-stack engineer for SaaS teams and founders who need complex products built properly and shipped to production. I work as the engineer who owns a feature end to end: turning vague requirements into a clear plan, designing the data model, building the backend and frontend, and deploying it on AWS. I've shipped production software for an Amazon Ads platform, school districts, a city government, healthcare businesses and South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope. I'm at my best in domains where correctness matters, like payments, finance workflows, audit trails and government processes. Recent work: - Amazon Ads SaaS (AI-powered ad management platform): Feature lead on Sponsored Brands campaign creation, the platform's highest-impact revenue feature. Split a monolithic dashboard into feature-scoped modules (50+ components extracted, legacy migration debt removed), eliminated 1.5–6 second UI freezes on large data tables, and fixed database CPU spikes with functional indexes on partitioned tables. - P-Card Reconciliation SaaS for School Districts: Built a full-stack platform that replaces manual month-end purchasing card reconciliation. It imports card statements, marketplace orders and emailed receipts, matches them automatically, and sends uncertain charges (split shipments, possible duplicates) to a review queue. Approvals generate finance-system import files and a PDF audit packet, with a complete audit trail and role-based access. Next.js, TypeScript, Fastify, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Terraform on AWS. - Municipal Permitting & Code Enforcement Platform: Part of a small team replacing a city's legacy system for permits, business licenses, inspections and code enforcement. I built the code enforcement case workflow (step gating, notice sequencing, auto-generated letters), staff permit correction tools, and fixes to Stripe payments and finance reporting. - Healthcare SaaS Marketplace: Delivered end to end. Django REST API (50+ endpoints), a 50+ screen React Native app, escrow payments through a GraphQL payment API with async Celery workflows, Terraform-provisioned AWS infrastructure, and a full CI/CD pipeline including automated App Store and Play Store releases. - Radio Telescope Operations (MeerKAT): Built a web app that automated scheduling for 1,000+ astronomical observations and added real-time subarray configuration updates for telescope operators. How I work: - Regular progress updates and clear written communication, so you always know where things stand - Clean, tested, maintainable code your team can keep building on - Based in Cape Town (UTC+2), working across European hours with overlap into US mornings If you need a senior engineer who can take ownership and deliver, click 'Invite' and let's set up a 15-minute call about your project.
