About
Co-Founder & Director at Pulsar Digital Solutions. I build software companies run every day — multi-tenant portals, ops workflows, mobile apps, device integrations — then host and keep it live. Self-taught: I learned by shipping real systems for clients and for Unison.
What I do
Through Pulsar I design, ship, and operate production systems — order platforms, Unison (workforce), commerce sites, and native mobile — with Docker, CI/CD, and reliable hosting.
- Production client apps with walkthrough proof
- Unison — Pulsar workforce platform + iOS / Android
- Kitchen Mafia — web + iOS / Android
- Hosting & ops delivered via Pulsar
- Integrations: Hikvision, ZKTeco, Xero, PayFast

Hosting & production ops
I build and operate production hosting — Docker, CI/CD, monitoring — for client and Pulsar products. Commercial hosting engagements go through Pulsar.
- Production hosting for client apps and Pulsar platforms
- Docker-based deploys, Redis where the product needs it, CI/CD pipelines
- Go services alongside the web stack when performance or workers matter
- Linux server setup and ongoing care — I build it, ship it, and keep it running
Commercial hosting and custom builds: pulsardigital.co.za. See Services and Work for live examples and uptime.
