Millions of users.
Zero drama.
Engineered the backend migration from 4-digit PIN authentication to 6-digit PIN authentication on a live VodaPay payments platform serving millions of active users — with both formats supported through the transition.

Existing customers kept authenticating while the new PIN length rolled out — one verification path, two accepted credential formats, no downtime for the platform.
Who are you?
- Face
- Fingerprint
- National ID
Contributed to an identity verification platform combining facial recognition, fingerprint matching and national ID validation — where a single answer has to be correct, explainable and secure end to end.
What if the work
did itself?
A reporting pipeline replaced substantial manual reporting work: tickets in, transformed data out, dashboards refreshed without a human touching a spreadsheet.
- Excel exports
- Manual processing
- Manual calculations
- Manual reports
- Human verification
- Remedy / Helix
- FastAPI
- PostgreSQL
- dbt
- AWS RDS
- Power BI
Remedy / Helix data is pulled by a FastAPI service, landed in PostgreSQL on AWS RDS, modelled with dbt and served to Power BI.
Systems under pressure.
Financial-services technology, including contribution to South Africa's two-pot retirement-system processing initiative — an environment where regulation, deadline, scale and reliability arrive at the same time.

A knowledge graph, not a logo wall.
Hover or tap a technology to trace where it has actually been used across production work.
Complexity should be understood before it is abstracted.
Automation should remove repetitive human work.
Security is architecture, not decoration.
Production systems deserve production thinking.
Good software makes the difficult invisible.
