2025-2026
Full Stack Developer
Played a key role in enhancing data visualization capabilities by contributing to the development of a real-time analytics dashboard powered by Socket.io and D3.js. I bridged the gap between design and engineering by collaborating closely with UI/UX designers, translating complex Figma wireframes into responsive, pixel-perfect frontend code. My focus on technical precision and real-time data integration ensured a seamless and high-performance user experience for data-driven decision-making.
Fusion Software
2023-2025
Full Stack Developer
As a Lead Developer at Fusion Software, I spearheaded a major digital transformation by architecting the transition from a legacy PHP monolith to a modern React and Node.js microservices architecture. This strategic overhaul significantly optimized our internal operations, resulting in an 80% reduction in deployment time. Beyond architecture, I drove team excellence by mentoring four junior and mid-level developers, leveraging code reviews and technical workshops to increase sprint velocity by 25%. I also delivered direct financial impact by developing an automated billing tool via the PayFast API, which recovered over R243k in monthly recurring revenue. Furthermore, I standardized our design process by building a reusable UI component library with Storybook, effectively cutting frontend development time for new features by 40%.
