03 — AI
Built with AI.
Ships AI.
AI runs through both how I build and what I ship. Day to day I develop with AI coding agents — driven from written specs and standing briefs, run in parallel across isolated git worktrees, and reviewed before anything lands. I also build AI into the products themselves: Sango's operator app uses the Anthropic Claude API to draft replies across a unified social inbox and generate post captions. On the side, I trained an English Premier League match predictor — a Random Forest over 25 seasons of data — served through a live Streamlit dashboard.
04 — About
How I work.
I build and ship complete web products — from an ambiguous brief through design, frontend, backend, auth and deployment. I'm self-taught, and I've worked across three countries: agency client work in Zimbabwe, front-end product work in South Africa, and fifteen months remote with a US health company. Most recently I've been building independently — care-sector, agriculture and hospitality platforms, all live. I come from a design background too — comfortable in Figma and the Adobe suite — and I take designs to pixel-accurate React myself, so what ships matches what was drawn.
What I care about: accessibility that's built in rather than retrofitted, interfaces that stay fast on bad connections, and shipping things people actually use — increasingly with AI coding agents doing the heavy lifting under a tight review bar.
