Free AWS Cost Audit

I'll review your infrastructure and find savings. If I can't find at least R5,000/month in waste, you pay nothing. Most teams are bleeding money on oversized EC2 instances, unoptimised storage, and missing savings plans.

Production credentials, not certifications

Real infrastructure experience at scale. Builder, not just operator.

Current

Senior Systems Operations Engineer

Managing production AWS infrastructure across multi-region deployments for an AI-for-manufacturing company. EC2 rightsizing that cut real costs, EBS gp2-to-gp3 migrations, Prometheus/Grafana observability, ECS/Fargate container orchestration, WireGuard VPN infrastructure, and Elasticsearch clusters.

Building

Technical Lead — Wheels Platform

Architecting a B2B African travel-tech platform. Full-stack development, CI/CD pipelines, containerised microservices, Kubernetes deployment, and API integrations. I build systems end-to-end, not just maintain them.

Product

Self-Hosted AI CRM Database

A private, self-hosted CRM and member intelligence platform for teams who need full control over their data. AI-powered enrichment via Claude, Gemini, Kimi, and OpenAI. OSINT capabilities: multi-engine web scraping, WHOIS lookups, SSL certificate inspection, and email discovery. Flask backend with enterprise auth (email/password + Azure AD SSO), CSV import/export, and a real-time dashboard. Your data stays on your infrastructure.

Focus

African Market

Based in Cape Town. I understand local funding cycles, budget constraints, and the reality that most growing African tech teams can't justify R80-120k/month for a full-time senior DevOps hire. You get the same expertise at a fraction of the cost.
