03 — 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, full-stack 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.

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.
