Message

At KNLB Projects, I architected the multi-tenant backend for the Asset Breeze SaaS platform, including tenant isolation and role-based access control across 24 Django apps. I also designed a real-time notification engine using Django Channels and Redis pub/sub to replace API polling.

I built subscription billing integrated with PayFast and a white-label Progressive Web App using Vue. On the BargainBuys platform rebuild, I contributed the PostgreSQL persistence layer and ASP.NET Core Users API, and identified and fixed a timing side-channel in the login flow.
