I care about the whole product, not just one layer of it. On a typical project I design the interface, model the data, build the backend and ship the web, mobile or desktop app that ties it all together.

Most of my work is business software that people rely on every day: a point-of-sale system that prints receipts and runs as a Windows service, and a leave management platform for HR teams.

Right now I'm building SwiftGoma, a marketplace and delivery platform for Goma, DRC, with separate apps for buyers, sellers and riders, escrow payments, QR-code handoff and live rider tracking.
