Hire the Best Blender Developers
in South Africa

**Recently returned to upwork, rate discounted to $30 per hour for qualifying jobs** I’m an experienced software engineer specializing in Android development, with a strong background in system architecture and cross-platform solutions. Over the past decade, I’ve built and maintained native Android applications in Kotlin and Java, including end-to-end design, backend integration, and deployment. I also developed and maintained a large-scale Ionic Framework project from the ground up for a high-revenue enterprise client, giving me a solid understanding of hybrid mobile solutions. With over 20 years in software development, I bring a deep technical foundation, a focus on clean, maintainable code, and a proven track record of delivering reliable, scalable applications.

1 - THREE.JS I build the internet's weird, beautiful, interactive layer. Three.js · Blender · React Three Fiber · Vite Most developers can build you a website. Few can make it feel like an experience. I specialize in 3D interactive web components. the kind that stop scrollers and make people send the link to their friends. If you've seen a floating product demo, an interactive 3D landing page, or an immersive scroll experience and thought "I want that", that's my lane. 2 - AI RESCUE Most developers write code. I make sure it actually works. In the age of AI-generated projects, the hardest part isn't building, it's finishing. Lovable, Bolt, Replit, and Cursor can get you 70% there. The remaining 30% is where things break: CORS errors, broken auth, unstable deployments, logic that falls apart under real users. That's where I come in. A recent client put it better than I could: "His attention to detail is impressive in the age of AI slop devs. Mbongeni actually does a really good job on the manual work and making sure it works exactly as intended." If your AI-generated project is broken, buggy, or just not behaving. I can take it from where the AI left off and get it to production. 3 - FULL STACK I build things that ship and stay shipped. React · Next.js · Django · FastAPI · Supabase · Node.js From MVPs to production-ready platforms, I handle the full stack without disappearing mid-project. Another client described working with me as "smooth from the start" — revisions handled swiftly, delivered faster than expected, hired again for maintenance. ✅ 100% Job Success Rate ✅ 5.0 rating across all contracts ✅ Ranked top 10 on Product Hunt ✅ Clients rehire - every single one so far 📩 Message me with your project or drop a broken repo link. I'll tell you exactly what's wrong and how I'd fix it.

Hi, I'm Arian // designer-developer 👋 Most people hire twice: someone to design the site, someone else to build it. I do both, so nothing gets lost in the handoff and you aren't the one translating between two freelancers. What I've actually shipped: Bolster (Y-Combinator backed): custom product design in Figma Max Health: full Shopify build plus the back-office and logistics system behind it Dankpack: a 3D product configurator in Three.js, Blender and TypeScript Farm Manager SA: agri-recruitment platform, full design and build with a jobs board and multi-language support Manhattan Construction: full design and build with lead capture and consultation booking Hangar49: landing pages built to convert Zap: a stablecoin payments app I designed and built end to end, frontend, backend and system design So I'm not only a Webflow guy. I'll build in Webflow when it's the right tool (5+ years, Client First methodology), and go custom with Next.js, Sanity, Shopify or Three.js when your project needs something Webflow can't do. You get one person who can tell you honestly which one you actually need. Why work with me: 100% job success rate on Upwork Fast turnaround, and a project management system where you can see exactly where we are at any point Structured revision rounds, so the site ends up looking like what's in your head 100% satisfaction guarantee: if you aren't completely happy I'll keep working for free until you are, or refund the entire investment Your site will look exceptional, convert (because it's built around your funnel, not a template), rank on Google, load fast and work properly on mobile. You can view some of my work in my portfolio right here on Upwork. If you dream it I'll build it, and I'd love to hear what you have in mind (:

I am a Blender 3D Generalist. Some of my previous design work has included 3D visualizations of construction projects, traffic animations, conversions of Google Earth maps into 3D landscapes, 3D animations of medical products, 3D booth designs for virtual conferences, animations for kickstarter campaigns, and explainer videos for new businesses. See examples of my work in the portfolio when you scroll down. I am trained in all major tasks of Blender. I can create original, personalized content. Tasks I perform include concept design, modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting, animation, and rendering. If I work with you, I will ask specific questions to figure out how my skill-set can best be applied to your project. My work hours are Monday to Friday 9am-5pm South Africa time. (1am-9am Central Time). If live communication is needed for certain parts of a project, let me know and I can make slight adjustments to find a time that suits both of our schedules.

I create 3D models using Blender,Zbrush and Substance Painter. I can help you design and create 3D models from blocking, modeling, rigging, UV unwrapping, retopology, and texturing. All delivered in a package ready for a game engine such as Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender or any other software of your choice.
