I build production web apps with React, TypeScript and Supabase — SaaS MVPs, dashboards, PWAs and admin tools that real users run on.
What I deliver:
• React / Next.js / Vite applications with clean, maintainable architecture
• Supabase backends — auth, schema design, Row Level Security, storage, edge functions
• SaaS dashboards, admin panels and multi-role apps
• Dynamic forms, conditional workflows, PDF generation and Stripe payments
• Progressive Web Apps with mobile-first UX
• Shopify theme work (Liquid, custom sections) when a storefront needs custom UI
Recent work:
• Whts4Dinner — recipe and meal-planning PWA with 230,000+ recipes. React + Supabase, Stripe payments, admin tooling, SEO-ready pages and premium access logic. Built and still run by me.
• QuotePilot AI — lead-to-payment SaaS for quote-driven service businesses: capture enquiries, send quotes, schedule follow-ups, chase payments. React + Supabase.
• UK legal will-creation MVP for Aristone Solicitors — JSON-driven dynamic forms across 19+ sections, conditional logic, smart autofill, signatures and PDF document generation.
• Farmilly — farm-to-table marketplace MVP, React Native + Firebase.
Based in South Africa. Comfortable across European and US hours. More than 30 hrs/week available.
Send me the brief — I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit and what a sensible first milestone looks like.

Recent projects include a Pokémon search app (React + PokéAPI), a DC Comics trivia quiz, and an RPG battle UI built in React. I pick things up fast, write clean code, and deliver what I say I will.

Most of my work happens in the space between a client asking, “What’s happening?” and the delivery team trying to get the work out the door.
I make that space calmer.
At GEM Solutions, I was the main point of contact across up to 15 active client accounts. I handled client questions, onboarded new customers, managed escalations, coordinated with designers and developers, tracked deadlines, reviewed work before delivery, and made sure open issues were followed through rather than quietly forgotten.
I also built much of the system behind that work.
The agency was relying heavily on WhatsApp messages, verbal handovers, and scattered information, so I built its ClickUp workspace from scratch. That included project templates, custom statuses, task ownership, deadlines, intake forms, milestone tracking, reminders, and QA workflows.
I wrote 14 practical SOPs covering onboarding, client communication, CRM workflows, QA, invoicing, and handover. I also introduced a clearer bug-reporting process using reproduction steps, screenshots, priorities, and assigned owners. This helped reduce average issue-resolution time from around five days to under two, while proactive client updates reduced chasing messages by roughly 60%.
More recently, I supported a short workflow project with Tailwind.ai, translating onboarding and CRM requirements into an Asana build containing 21 main cards and 136 subtasks. The work involved mapping dependencies, surfacing missing decisions, and turning a broad process into something the team could actually follow.
Before that, I ran my own media studio for six years. Every client relationship was my responsibility from the first conversation through delivery and ongoing support. I handled proposals, contracts, timelines, feedback, invoices, contractors, technical issues, and the occasional difficult conversation nobody particularly wanted to have.
I can help with:
Project coordination, timelines, risks, and follow-ups
Client onboarding and ongoing communication
Customer support, escalations, and issue ownership
ClickUp and Asana workspace organisation
CRM administration in Zoho One, HubSpot, and Salesforce
QA testing, bug tracking, and delivery checks
SOPs, process documentation, and internal knowledge bases
Remote team, developer, designer, and freelancer coordination
Inbox management, meeting notes, and action tracking
Website, CMS, form, and browser troubleshooting
My background in teaching also gave me something that translates surprisingly well into client work: patience. I know how to explain unfamiliar information clearly, adjust to different communication styles, and stay calm when someone is frustrated or confused.
I work well with minimal supervision, shifting priorities, and businesses where the documentation is still being built. I do not need everything to be perfectly organised before I begin. Organising it is often the reason I am there.
If you need someone who can keep clients confident, keep the team moving, and improve the system while doing the work, that is where I fit best.
