I'm a Web & AI Product Engineer with 5+ years of professional experience building web applications and AI-powered products in production environments.

I build AI systems: multi-provider chat platforms supporting multiple models from various providers, vision/multimodal applications, and image generation tools (DALL-E 3, Flux). I've shipped streaming chat interfaces, provider abstraction layers, and cost-optimized AI workflows using Vercel AI SDK and OpenRouter.

I've spent several years contributing to long-running products, working within mature codebases, and translating product requirements into clean, maintainable solutions. I'm comfortable working independently and take responsibility for the quality of my code.

• Build AI-powered products: multi-provider chat, vision apps, image generation

• Own features end-to-end within large production systems

• Build and maintain internal UI libraries and component systems

• Deliver user-facing functionality used across multiple regions

• Improve developer experience through tooling, standards, and documentation

For the past several years, I've contributed to the long-term development of a medical staffing platform operating across South Africa and the UK, with ongoing expansion into the US market. My work includes:

• Owned and shipped frontend features for shift scheduling, payments, dashboards, and chat systems
• Built reusable UI systems and internal component libraries to support long-term product development
• Maintained and extended a large React codebase with focus on performance, UX states, and maintainability
• Contributed to setting frontend standards, writing technical specs, and improving team workflows
