What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, scalable end-to-end products in a collaborative engineering environment, contributing across React, Java, APIs, cloud delivery, architecture, code reviews, and mentoring.

I've built enterprise banking products for Absa Bank, RMB, Standard Bank, Discovery, FNB, and WesBank, delivering full-stack applications, microservices, APIs, and integrations across financial-services environments.

At Absa, I develop a notification portal with React 19, Next.js 16, Java Spring Boot, Kafka, and PostgreSQL. I also contribute to clean architecture, CI/CD delivery, code reviews, and mentoring developers across distributed Agile teams.
