The Best Web / Mobile / Desktop Developer in Cape Town (Solution Architect)

Hi there!

I’ve spent the past 23 years at the cutting edge of conceptual marketing, product design, and software engineering—pioneering strategies that have shaped both product and social culture. As a first-generation digital nomad, I’ve cut through the buzzwords and trends to deliver powerful, practical solutions.

I specialize in inventions and startups. I can assess any product’s viability at a glance and project IT market shifts five years ahead. My academic background spans socio-economics, philosophy, evolutionary psychology, modern history, political psychology, and IT, giving me a broad, informed perspective:

Over my career, I’ve driven companies to success:

• Spatial Information System: Designed, R&D’d, and built the first online SIS on the Google Earth platform in Africa in partnership with Old Mutual and Emirates.

• Digital Campus: Served as solution architect and lead developer for Kineo’s original platform at Wits University in Cape Town.

• Spidey: As the Graduate School of Business’s top PHP developer, I created “Spidey” 15 years ago; it’s still running across ten five-star South African hotels.

• NGOs & Startups: Led product design and development across numerous nonprofit and startup ventures, building wealth until personal circumstances required rebuilding from scratch.

I don’t sugarcoat. If you want secure, unique, and affordable development, I outperform any competitor—building robust software faster than anyone I know, without relying on trendy “hipster” languages like Node.js. I work within your budget, focus on ethical practices, and cut the fluff.

My approach to AI is equally distinctive: I leverage it to boost productivity in ways few have seen, and I remain one of the few developers whose career has thrived rather than been displaced by AI. While tools like ChatGPT can generate snippets, they won’t replace a systems architect who understands enterprise-grade engineering, global IT markets, and consumer behavior from the ground up.

Most recently, I served as lead developer at Detcro.com, an innovative NGO specializing in conflict-zone evacuation and relief—until my contract was canceled after the USAID shutdown. I come with stellar references, sample applications, and a reputation for honest, forward-thinking solutions.

If you’re ready to take your idea from concept to market, let’s talk.

I am South African & I am in Cape Town every year during summer.
