05 · About
My background in civil engineering shapes how I build software: define the forces, understand failure modes, validate assumptions and design for the real operating environment.
I am completing a PhD in computational and applied mechanics at the University of Cape Town while building production systems across southern Africa. The common thread is reliable infrastructure—whether the system models a material, moves operational data or serves a customer.
