I Build Intelligent Systems That Ship
Generative AI developer based in Midrand, South Africa, building RAG, data platforms, edge AI, and business applications. Full stack from sensor signal to executive dashboard. Delivered solo.
Engineering capabilities
01IoT & Edge Systems
From IoT telemetry to custom hardware solutions
Physical computing systems built to capture telemetry from real devices, move that data into usable pipelines, and create custom hardware solutions when off-the-shelf equipment is not enough.
- IoT telemetry capture from sensors, machines, and edge devices
- Custom mechanical systems (dispensers, conveyors, positioning rigs)
- ESP32/Raspberry Pi edge device programming
- GPIO control for motors, servos, sensors, cameras
- Edge-to-cloud telemetry pipelines (AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub)
02Agentic AI & Intelligent Automation
Autonomous systems that reason, decide, and act
Agentic workflows where Claude/GPT models orchestrate multi-step processes autonomously: analysis, decisions, actions, exceptions, and human-in-the-loop review.
- Autonomous AI workflows (n8n, Make, custom orchestrators)
- RAG pipelines with vector databases and semantic search
- Multi-model orchestration (GPT-4, Claude, Azure OpenAI)
- Conversational AI with persistent memory (Xlink-Sage pattern)
- Document analysis and intelligent data extraction
03Computer Vision & Edge ML
Teaching machines to see and understand
Models deployed on edge devices processing real-world inputs in real time, with computer vision, OCR validation, and exception handling connected to cloud workflows.
- Custom object detection model training (Edge Impulse, TensorFlow)
- Edge deployment (TFLite on Raspberry Pi, embedded devices)
- OCR pipelines with intelligent routing and validation
- Azure Computer Vision & Cognitive Services integration
- Image capture systems (industrial cameras, night vision)
04Data Engineering & Backend Systems
The infrastructure that makes everything else possible
Pipelines, warehouses, and backend systems that turn raw operational chaos into structured, trustworthy data across SQL ecosystems and modern ETL.
- Data warehouse design and implementation (Azure Synapse)
- ETL architecture (Talend, SSIS, Azure Data Factory)
- Database optimization and query performance tuning
- REST API development and backend services
- Realtime streaming and event processing
05Enterprise Applications
Fullstack business systems that teams actually use
Operational apps with RBAC, audits, offline capability, and integrations, built on Power Platform and React/Supabase.
- Warehouse and inventory management systems
- Custom PowerApps with SharePoint/SQL integration
- React + TypeScript apps with Supabase backend
- Offline-first PWAs with barcode/QR scanning
- Role-based access control and row-level security
06Analytics & Business Intelligence
Operational visibility that drives decisions
30+ KPI dashboards, enterprise BI, automated reporting, and DAX/semantic models backed by solid engineering.
- Enterprise Power BI implementations with advanced DAX
- Realtime operational dashboards with live data
- Automated report generation and distribution
- Data modeling and semantic layer design
- QlikView to Power BI migration
Auditable SIM-Card OCR Pipeline
Returned devices contained active SIM cards, but reading and recording printed SIM identifiers manually was slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale.
The Rare Profile
Most consultants fall into silos: AI specialists who've never touched hardware, IoT developers who can't build cloud backends, and data engineers who've never automated a physical process.
I'm the rare convergence, someone who can instrument the device, collect the telemetry, design the custom hardware, build the cloud pipeline, and deliver the executive dashboard. All as one person.
Engagement Models
Project-Based
Fixed scope, fixed timeline, fixed price. Best for automation challenges, application builds, and system migrations.
Discovery & Architecture
Assess current state, identify opportunities, and deliver a technical roadmap with architecture recommendations.
Retained Advisory
Ongoing technical guidance for architecture reviews, vendor evaluations, mentorship, and strategic input.
