What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join teams where I can architect resilient, cloud-first systems and deploy agentic AI frameworks in regulated environments—while also leading brand-aligned digital and broadcast deliverables that meet strict governance and international standards.

I am a Systems Architect and Multimedia Content Creative with 15+ years of independent and senior delivery experience across cloud infrastructure, full-stack platforms, AI-assisted workflows, multimedia production and enterprise digital transformation.

My work sits between architecture and execution: systems design, React and Next.js web applications, Node.js and Python APIs, cloud-first infrastructure, CI/CD, security-aware delivery, stakeholder leadership and high-visibility content systems. I have worked across regulated services, mining, insurance, governance, media, CSR, creative studios and pan-African operations.

I am open to senior remote, hybrid and South Africa-wide opportunities as a Systems Architect, Solutions Architect, Cloud Architect, Platform Architect, AI Transformation Lead, Lead AI Engineer for LLMs and agents, Technical Lead, Full-Stack Architect, Digital Transformation Lead, Creative Director or technology consultant. I am comfortable with full-time, part-time, contract and consulting arrangements.
