Software developer building RoadWatch Vision, an AI-powered vehicle monitoring and evidence platform.

South Africa
Message

I built and refined RoadWatch Vision, an AI-powered vehicle monitoring and evidence platform with camera recording, object detection and tracking, incident management, GPS-linked video, analytics, and cloud playback. I worked through state-management, codec, storage, security, and deployment issues while improving user and admin workflows.

On GridFlex AI, I contributed to an energy-monitoring prototype for curtailment detection, congestion forecasting, scenario simulation, and KPI reporting. I translated operational needs into dashboard features and presented the concept at a regional innovation challenge.

I also developed the Tabola Tracking Application, with mobile workflows for authentication, dashboards, device details, location history, alerts, and downloadable reports. I tested it on physical Android devices and worked with cloud data and offline-aware flows.

My other projects include a full-stack recipe application, a cybersecurity data dashboard, and an Android-first workout app. I work across React, React Native, Node.js, Express, and Python, and bring a Technical Support background in troubleshooting and issue documentation.
