Senior Product Engineer & Cloud Architect
Queenstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa
I am the senior product engineer behind Qwabi Engineering. With about 10 years in software, I lead architecture and delivery for custom software, mobile apps, web platforms, and business systems. The company site speaks as 'we'; this page is the person behind that delivery.
If you came from the homepage, that is the company view: services, selected work, pricing, and how the team engages. Here you get background, stack, and direct contact.
Day to day I work in React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and Python, with cloud on GCP, AWS, and Azure. Supabase and Firebase when a project needs a fast, real-time backend.

Writing
I publish notes on product engineering, AI, cloud architecture, and Eastern Cape culture and history on my personal site. Some posts are hands-on build logs; others are researched explainers. See editorial standards for how I treat sources and updates.
