Hi, I'm

Software Engineer, Java / Spring Boot · C# / .NET · AWS
I'm a software engineer based in Centurion, South Africa. I spend most of my time on backend systems in the Java / Spring Boot and C# / .NET worlds, wrangling authentication, distributed systems, and the small matter of shipping to production without everything catching fire.
When I grow up, I want to be a cloud engineer. I'm reliably informed this is mostly the same fires, just billed by the hour and spread across more availability zones. So for now I'm collecting AWS certs and quietly learning which buttons not to press.
This site is where I write that thinking down, and where I keep the things I build and solve for fun. Have a look around, and say hi.
