AI RESCUE SECTION 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. FULL STACK SECTION 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 THREE.JS SECTION 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. CLOSING 📩 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.

Designer && Developer With 5+ years of turning ideas into eye-catching visuals, I blend technical precision with a passion for solving problems through creation. Whether it’s crafting a logo that becomes a brand’s heartbeat, designing apparel that sparks conversations, or building immersive 3D worlds in Blender, I thrive on making businesses stand out visually and memorably. What I Bring to Your Team: Versatility: From minimalist logos to intricate fantasy illustrations, I adapt to your style. Speed + Precision: Proficient in Adobe Suite, Blender, and Procreate—tools I wield to create polished work faster than most. Collaboration: I ask questions, listen with intent, and keep you in the loop until the project is complete. Polish: I don’t just deliver files—I refine lighting, tweak kerning, and optimize polygons until it’s flawless. Technical Toolkit - Adobe Illustrator | Photoshop | After Effects | Canva - Blender | Unreal Engine 6 | C++ Why Work With Me? I’m not just a designer—I’m a partner invested in your success. When I’m not obsessing over vector curves or lighting setups, you’ll find me geeking out over D&D lore (yes, I’ll happily add Easter eggs to your fantasy project). Let’s create something unforgettable.
