Senior software engineer · Johannesburg, South Africa
Payments, POS devices and cloud platforms are serious business. Building them can still have a little joy in it. I turn difficult operational problems into secure, practical systems that keep moving.
“Clarity is power.”
From terminal memory constraints to resilient serverless services, I bring an engineering mindset grounded in reliability, security and ownership—with just enough curiosity to enjoy the hard bits.

Enhanced POS terminal software and evaluated payment technology solutions across Verifone and Gemalto platforms.

POS and terminal software, EMV/ICC, ISO 8583, Postilion, transaction flows and operational troubleshooting.
Event-driven AWS systems using Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS, EventBridge and observability tooling.
