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.

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.

Finding a reliable creative freelancer who can design, develop, and keep projects running smoothly can be a challenge, but that's where I come in. I help businesses and entrepreneurs build (or rebuild) their digital presence through website design and development, graphic design, brand identity design, and UX/UI design while also supporting them with the day-to-day tasks that keep projects on track and clients engaged. My skills lie in creating responsive websites, designing intuitive interfaces and brand-aligned graphics and assets, crafting brand identities, and designing social media content that is both visually striking and strategically effective. Beyond design and development, I bring strong organizational and communication skills, as well as managing content calendars, social media platforms, client communication, and custom WordPress theme development. This allows me to deliver not just polished creative work, but also the operational support that ensures everything flows without a hitch. Over the years, I've collaborated with clients in South Africa, Brazil, Spain, and the United States, including NGOs, design agencies, religious organizations, and independent entrepreneurs on several freelance platforms. My work experience ranges from illustration, graphic design, 3D modelling, front-end development, virtual assistance, social media management and content creation, to video editing and animation (and other related services). My skills have helped clients strengthen their brand visibility and improve engagement across niches and industries. My clients value my ability to combine creativity with reliability, often returning for repeat collaborations. I approach every project with a do-it-together mindset, which means I put a lot of emphasis on client feedback, keeping communication clear and timelines consistent. I work with tools such as Figma, Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Animate, Adobe XD, Blender, Visual Studio Code, Android Studio, and Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, etc.). I am also fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Whether you’re starting fresh or updating what you already have, I can help design, develop, and manage the creative solutions your next project needs. Let's chat!
