I'm a Lead Software Engineer at NICE, originally from Pretoria, South Africa 
I work across frontend, backend, desktop, and native systems. I enjoy building products that combine solid engineering with thoughtful design from Angular applications and APIs to Windows tooling, runtime integrations, and open-source projects for the Halo community.
Right now, most of my public work is focused on Halo Meister and a modern Halo 5 service-record platform built with Angular and FastAPI.
Outside development, I'm a competitive Halo player, Twitch streamer, designer, bodybuilder, motorcyclist, and cat dad.
My core stack is Angular and .NET, but I’m comfortable moving from product interfaces and APIs down into native code when the problem requires it.

API integrations, service layers, native bridges, runtime tooling, process integration, and safe interaction with external systems.
Hexagonal architecture · GitHub Actions · AWS Elastic Beanstalk · CI/CD · Release automation
Maintainable system boundaries, automated builds and releases, exact version checks, defensive validation, and backup-first workflows.
Technical direction · system design · code reviews · mentoring · delivery planning · product and design collaboration
A Windows companion and offline runtime-modding toolbox for Halo: Campaign Evolved. It combines campaign progress, local game files, checkpoint management, customization, runtime tags, live gameplay tools, and a phone-friendly remote in one WinUI 3 application.
