About Me

Builder of intelligent systems ✦

I'm a software engineer based in Midrand, South Africa, focused on Backend AI & Cybersecurity Engineering — building scalable FastAPI backends, intelligent multi-agent systems, and robust SOC security architectures.

My work spans multi-agent AI orchestration, network security operations, and DevOps automation. I've designed coordinated agent pipelines for real production work, build CI/CD infrastructure that ships reliable systems, and am currently working through the Cisco CyberOps Associate certification.

I'm currently a FlyRank AI Remote Backend AI Engineering Intern, a Cisco Networking Academy CyberOps Associate candidate, and a DataCamp Data Science & AI Scholar. Open to roles, collaborations, and security/ AI projects.

Projects

Highlighted Projects. Real systems. 🌸

Multi-Agent AMD Hackathon 2026 · Competing

ForgeMind AI 🤖

A multi-agent AI software engineering assistant.

Engineered for the AMD Developer Hackathon 2026. Built with Python and FastAPI for automated code analysis and task resolution. Coordinates multiple specialized agents to handle distinct parts of the software development lifecycle — not a chatbot wrapped around a model, but a genuine multi-agent pipeline. Competition outcome pending.

Network Security Simulation

Cisco Packet Tracer & Network Simulation Architectures 🌐

Network topology design and security verification protocols.

Network topology design and security verification protocols implementing DHCP routing, wireless bridging, and end-to-end ICMP/DNS testing. Demonstrates hands-on experience with network infrastructure design, traffic analysis, and security validation using industry-standard simulation tooling.

Multi-Agent Dubai AI Week · Finalist

PulsePM AI 📊

6 autonomous agents running your project health.

Six coordinating AI agents track project health in real time — surfacing risk before it becomes a blocker and generating executive-ready insights without manual reporting. Built to replace the status-update meeting entirely. Each agent owns a domain: monitoring, risk prediction, timeline analysis, team health, budgeting, and executive briefing.

AI Operating System OpenAI Build Week

ForgeMind OS 🧠

A multi-agent OS for the entire engineering lifecycle.

Not a single coding assistant — a coordinated system of agents handling distinct parts of the software engineering lifecycle, from code generation to workflow execution. The full-scale end of the range: where PulsePM is six agents on one job, ForgeMind OS is the operating layer underneath many. TypeScript-first, modular, and designed to extend. Built during OpenAI Build Week.

AI Interview Platform Live App

VibeCoach AI Mentor 🎤

Adaptive AI interview simulator with per-question scoring.

Paste a job title and description — VibeCoach generates a full role-specific mock interview: 8 verbal questions + 2 practical tasks, adaptive follow-ups, live webcam PIP, timed phases, and per-question AI scoring with coaching notes. Supports 18 languages. Sessions are persisted with trend analytics, "vs previous session" deltas, and PDF export. Built with Supabase + Gemini.

AI FinTech

Momo SmartMoney AI 💰

Smart money management, powered by AI.

An AI-powered personal finance assistant that goes beyond budgeting tools — it analyses spending patterns, surfaces savings opportunities, and provides intelligent recommendations on money management. Built in Python with a focus on actionable financial guidance rather than passive data display.

AI Fact-Checking

TruthLens AI 🔍

AI-powered misinformation detection at scale.

A TypeScript platform that detects misinformation and performs automated fact-checking. TruthLens analyses content credibility, cross-references claims against verified sources, and surfaces confidence scores — built to address the growing challenge of distinguishing reliable information from manipulated content.

AI Assistant

MaliMind AI 🌍

Intelligent assistant with conversational depth.

An AI-powered intelligent assistant built to provide meaningful, context-aware responses. MaliMind focuses on natural language understanding and dynamic conversation management, built in JavaScript with an emphasis on practical, everyday usability.

✦ Infrastructure & DevOps
Agentic DevOps Multi-Cloud

ForgePipeline AI 🚀

Tell it what to deploy — it figures out the rest.

An agentic cloud platform that automates Docker containerization and deployment. Instead of writing CI/CD scripts, you declare intent: "Deploy my web service to staging on AWS." The Planning Agent breaks it down, the Execution Engine carries it out — smart code analysis, Dockerfile generation, multi-cloud deployment (AWS ECS, GCP Cloud Run, Azure, K8s), and automatic rollback on failure. Web dashboard included.

Enterprise Platform Snowflake

PAAS Command Center 🏢

AI-native enterprise command center for DevOps + data.

An AI-native enterprise command center that fuses DevOps operations with Snowflake Cortex AI — giving teams a unified dashboard to manage infrastructure deployments alongside data pipeline insights, all through a single intelligent interface. Designed for engineering organisations operating at scale.

QA Automation

Automated E2E & API Test Suite 🧪

Comprehensive automated testing for SaaS platforms.

A full-featured end-to-end and API automated test framework built for production SaaS platforms. Covers UI automation, REST API contract testing, and integration testing — structured to run in CI/CD pipelines and provide reliable regression coverage across complex multi-service architectures.

✦ Other Projects
GBA Game GBA Jam 2026

Gridlock 808 🕹️

Cyberpunk multiplayer hacking race — on Game Boy Advance.

A high-energy multiplayer cyberpunk arcade game built entirely from scratch in raw C++ for the Game Boy Advance's 25th anniversary (GBA Jam 2026). Think Bomberman meets TRON in a neon terminal grid. 2–4 players connect via GBA Game Link Cable (Multi-Pak mode). Zero AI-generated code, art, or audio — deterministic input syncing via GBA serial registers, hardware sprite palettes, and authentic VRAM layouts.

AMD Radeon Hackathon 2026

Radeon Hackathon 2026 ⚡

AMD Radeon GPU-accelerated project — July 2026.

A hackathon submission for the AMD Radeon Hackathon 2026, built in Python. Leverages AMD Radeon GPU acceleration for high-performance compute workloads — exploring what's possible when AI and GPU-native programming combine in a competitive, time-constrained build sprint.

Web App Business

God's Grace Bakery 🧁

A full-featured bakery business web application.

A web application built for a real bakery business — covering product listings, ordering, and customer-facing functionality. Built in JavaScript with a focus on clean UX, mobile responsiveness, and practical utility for a small business operating in the community.
