I'm a product-focused software developer and Computer Science student based in Windhoek, Namibia. I currently work as a Software Development Intern at Edge Technology Solutions, where I turn operational needs and ambiguous ideas into structured requirements, thoughtful interfaces, and human-reviewed software.
My work currently spans requirements analysis, product and UI design, frontend development, QA, and delivery management. I create the product direction, user flows, interface decisions, and acceptance criteria; AI assists with implementation, while I remain responsible for scope, design quality, testing, verification, and final acceptance. I also have backend and deployment experience with Supabase, Vercel and Cloudflare.

}- Requirements analysis - translating ambiguous ideas and operational needs into clear scope, user flows and acceptance criteria.
- Product and UI design - owning product direction, interaction decisions and interface design, with AI used as an implementation assistant.
- Frontend development - building and refining usable interfaces across JavaScript, React, Next.js, HTML and CSS.
- AI-assisted delivery - coordinating planning and implementation while keeping human judgment in charge of design, architecture and acceptance.
- Product restraint and AI-slop elimination - removing generic AI patterns, unnecessary features, redundant abstractions and visual noise so each product stays focused, distinctive and viable.
- QA and verification - testing, type checks, builds, manual acceptance and security-boundary review.
- Backend and platform experience - integrating application services and deployments with Supabase, Vercel and Cloudflare.
| Project | What it demonstrates | Status |
|---|---|---|
| InstaClip | Local-first desktop workspace for turning long-form VODs into reviewable short-form clips using transcription, multi-signal detection, editing and a creator-taste feedback loop. | Public edition |
| CNTKNW | A private, offline-first study and knowledge studio where readers can explore books and PDFs, annotate exact passages, keep connected journals, map ideas visually and move from reading into focused study without surrendering their data to the cloud. | Active development |
| LwK Trading Platform | Local-first crypto research and paper-trading prototype with strategy evaluation, simulated execution, risk controls, research agents and a Next.js operations dashboard. No live trading. | Private prototype |
| AI Skill Video Extractor | Python pipeline that converts YouTube videos into structured, reviewable evidence for reusable AI-agent skills. Includes versioned schemas, uncertainty tracking, deduplication, cost controls and offline tests. | Public |
Some active repositories remain private while they contain company work, unreleased product code or early-stage experiments. Public case studies and sanitized technical write-ups will be added as they become suitable for release.

AI helps me implement faster, but it does not create my product direction or UI decisions. I remain responsible for requirements, user experience, architecture, reviewing generated changes, correcting failures, testing and final acceptance. That includes removing AI-induced bloat and generic patterns before they reach the product.
- Hardening InstaClip's focused public edition while continuing the private commercial product.
- Restructuring StudyBuddy into a focused public V2 without carrying over legacy bloat.
- Preparing LwK for a safe public paper-trading case study.
- Strengthening frontend engineering, product design and UI design through working applications.
- Deepening backend and deployment experience with Supabase and Cloudflare.
- Turning private project experience into sanitized public case studies.
- Completing a Bachelor of Computer Science in Software Development at NUST, expected April 2027.
