✝️ Jesus is King.
I want the things I build to serve people before they impress people.
I build software, AI systems, games, governance protocols, financial agents, robotics experiments and strange little research machines from Cape Town.
But the thread underneath all of it is becoming clearer:
How do we give intelligent systems more capability without giving up human authority, identity, accountability, memory or truth?
I started by building applications. Then I became obsessed with what happens when software remembers, acts, coordinates, changes the world, and has to explain why it did so.
That is where most of my work lives now.
I care about people who do not have perfect infrastructure, perfect bandwidth, perfect devices, perfect credentials or time to decode a complicated interface. South African realities — unemployment, transport cost, township infrastructure, education, small business, safety and opportunity — are not “edge cases” in my work. They are design inputs.
