Fractional AI Engineer — Cape Town, South Africa
I build and operate practical systems across AI, infrastructure, SaaS, tourism operations, and MSP workflows. My edge is integration: legacy tools, real production constraints, African market realities, and automation that has to survive contact with day-to-day operations.
About
The common thread is practical engineering: connect the systems already in the room, reduce operational drag, and make the smaller working core useful before expanding the vision.
FastAPI, React/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Keycloak, AWS, observability, migrations, uptime, and the unglamorous work of keeping production systems understandable.
AI agents, ticket workflows, SOP generation, prompt systems, operational tooling, and automation that fits existing stacks instead of demanding a clean-room rebuild.
Hands-on experience with African travel platforms, partner migrations, Yealink PBX, cPanel, SIP trunks, support realities, load shedding, last-mile constraints, and tight budgets.
Proof
Not theoretical architecture diagrams. Production systems, migrations, infrastructure, and automation I built or operated.
Multi-tenant B2B SaaS for African travel currently in UAT. FastAPI, React/TS, PostgreSQL RLS, Keycloak. 112 partners, 2,268 products, R3.89M GMV represented in migrated platform data. Architected, built, and migrated.
Full-Stack + DevOpsCape Town MSP exposure across Yealink PBX, cPanel hosting, SIP trunks, security, and CCTV. I know the buyer's reality: load shedding, last-mile issues, small teams, and tight budgets.
MSP OperationsRightsized EC2, gp2-to-gp3 EBS migrations, reserved capacity planning. Cut cloud spend 30%+ without touching application code. Prometheus/Grafana observability deployed multi-region.
InfrastructureProgrammatic video for faceless YouTube/TikTok. Claude scripts, Remotion renders VHS visuals, ElevenLabs voices. Upload-ready output, fully automated.
Creative TechToolkit
