I build the seen, and Unseen.

I'm a fullstack engineer who works backwards from the architecture. I ship full-scale end to end applications and logic that sits between a database and a decision, APIs, pipelines, dashboards, and the occasional AI integration that has to actually behave in production.

Vaye

Vaye is a four-app super-platform built for the Zimbabwean and South African markets. A passenger app, a driver app, an internal admin ops centre and a single Express + MongoDB backend cover ridesharing, deliveries, a peer-to-peer marketplace and an integrated wallet — with currency, payment provider and locale all driven by the user's region rather than hardcoded.

HCApp dashboard showing wellness event statistics and station progress

HCApp — Workforce Health & Wellness Platform

HCApp is a production wellness-event platform used to run corporate health screening days at scale. Nurses, counsellors and admins move attendees through multiple clinical stations (BP, BMI, HIV, lipids, hearing, eye, lung, oral, stress, TB), capture results on tablets, and generate per-attendee journey cards and event-level utilisation reports. The system is designed mobile-first, works offline-tolerant as a PWA, and ships with role-based access, QR-code wristband inventory, real-time dashboards and AI-generated executive summaries.

I'm a problem-solver before I'm an engineer, and the problems I pick when no one's paying tell you more than my stack does, safety tooling for women taking Ubers alone, health systems for NGOs.
