EQUAL CRAFT.
ZERO HAND-OFF DRIFT.

⌘ GROUP 02 ENGINEERING & BUILD

UI DEV & FRONTEND DEVELOPER

Frontend-focused engineering that ships clean, performant, responsive web apps, PWAs, and component libraries with zero handoff drift between Figma and production code.

// Built-In Craft

THOUGHTFUL DETAILS THAT
SET PRODUCTS APART.

Every product I design and ship includes capabilities that come from real product thinking — not just a pretty UI. Accessibility-first flows, offline behaviour, data that builds your business, and code that your engineers can extend.

📊
Digital Financial Footprint
Your app tracks real sales data, building the financial record that unlocks business loans and supplier programmes — even without a bank account history.
🌐
Works Offline
Menus, prices, and order queues load with zero signal. Your business keeps running even when the network doesn't.
🤖
AI Auto-Reply Agent
An intelligent chat agent that answers customer questions, qualifies leads, and books appointments — 24/7, without you lifting a finger.
📱
Installs Like a Native App
Customers add your app to their home screen directly from the browser. No app store, no downloads, no friction.
🔔
Push Notifications
Send specials, order updates, and reminders directly to your customers' phones — even when they're not on your site.
🏷️
Digital Loyalty Stamps
A built-in loyalty card that rewards repeat customers — no physical cards, no extra hardware, no third-party app needed.
🎙️
Voice-to-Bookkeeping
Send a WhatsApp voice note — "I sold 10 plates for R500" — and the AI logs it instantly. Your books stay up to date without paperwork.
⚡
Speed-to-Lead Automation
Every new enquiry gets a reply in under 60 seconds. Automated follow-ups keep leads warm until they're ready to buy.
