I design & build thoughtful products for the web.

Hey, I'm Thabo. I care about fast, accessible interfaces, clean domain logic, and shipping things people actually use. Recently I've been focusing on education tech, internal tooling, and real‑time dashboards. I like pairing strong engineering practices with a designer's eye so products feel calm, clear, and resilient.

A Little Context

I started coding to automate repetitive IT tasks, stayed for the creative problem solving. These days I help small teams move faster by shaping ideas, building accessible interfaces, and putting solid architecture under features so they scale without drama. I value clarity over buzzwords, incremental delivery over big rewrites, and collaboration over silos.

Full-Stack Development

Building complete digital solutions from database architecture to intuitive user interfaces, specializing in React, Next.js, Node.js, and modern JavaScript ecosystems.

Inclusive Design

Creating accessible, user-centered interfaces that prioritize usability across diverse user groups and assistive technologies, ensuring equal access to digital experiences.

Performance Excellence

Optimizing application speed, accessibility, and user experience through strategic implementation of modern web standards and performance-first development practices.

Strategic Problem-Solving

Analyzing complex business requirements and technical constraints to deliver targeted solutions that address root causes and create lasting value.

Collaborative Partnership

Building successful outcomes through transparent communication, iterative feedback, and inclusive development processes that align with your team and stakeholders.

Future-Ready Technologies

Implementing cutting-edge tools and frameworks that provide competitive advantages while maintaining compatibility and long-term sustainability.

How I Work

Ship early, measure, refine. I lean on strong fundamentals: semantic HTML, accessible patterns, predictable state, and observability. I keep dependencies lean, document intent in code, and automate the boring parts. Good software feels fast, obvious to use, and forgiving when people make mistakes.

Toolset & Focus Areas

I stay close to the stack I use daily: modern React/TypeScript on the front, lean Node services and pragmatic databases on the back. I optimize for maintainability and real user performance rather than chasing every new framework.

Always learning, but intentional about what I adopt. Strong fundamentals + selective new tools usually beat sprawling stacks.

Let's Talk

Have an idea, product pain point, or internal tool that needs love? I'm happy to chat and see if I can help. No hard sell—just a short conversation about problems, constraints and possible paths forward.

Quick Intro

Share a little context. I usually reply within a day (often faster). If it looks like a fit we can schedule a deeper call.

Direct Contact

Based in Johannesburg (SAST). Async first, but happy to jump on a call when it helps. I respond quickly during African/European timezones.

Elsewhere

Occasional updates, code, and thoughts on building humane systems.

Ready to Explore?

I'm taking on a few new projects. If you think I could help, reach out and let's see what a lightweight first step looks like.
