About Me

I'm a Software Engineer currently working at ARMSCOR (South African defence manufacturer), where I build enterprise-grade systems for IP management, security clearance tracking, and event-driven integrations.

I architected and delivered an IP Management System integrated with Azure Cognitive Services (70% reduction in manual data entry), a security clearance platform achieving 95% fewer verification errors, and an event-driven inventory sync platform handling 1M+ daily webhooks with 99.5% delivery success.

Beyond work, I've built a production-ready 9-agent AI system with FastAPI and React, plus a biometric time-tracking system using Facenet-PyTorch face recognition. Skilled in Java Spring Boot, Databricks, and cloud-native development.
