I work where infrastructure, human behaviour and product design meet. I keep critical systems alive, turn messy operational problems into evidence-led artefacts, and ship digital products built to survive real-world use.
Based in Windhoek, Namibia, with more than a decade across network operations, offshore IT, enterprise systems and technical support. My current work extends that foundation into design science research and end-to-end product engineering.

- Senior IT Systems Administrator — The Free Press of Namibia / The Namibian / Namibia Media Trust
- Product builder — products spanning trusted mobility, social running, aviation coordination and public-interest command systems
- Published design science researcher — IT handover continuity, with an open DOI-backed research record
- Builder within SolarSpin Technologies — creating practical Namibian digital products with operational depth
A trust-first peer-to-peer vehicle marketplace designed for Namibia. Verification, explicit terms and a durable deal trail bring more structure to owner–renter transactions. Role: product strategy, design research, UX/UI, brand refinement, full-stack engineering, trust architecture, infrastructure and launch. |
A design science research project that treats institutional knowledge continuity as a living system—not a document someone files and forgets. Role: researcher, artefact designer and author. |
A premium responsive digital experience unifying early learning, tutoring, vocational training and counselling into one clear institutional journey. Role: digital experience design and frontend engineering. |
A vessel-operations command centre unifying voyages, crew readiness, live coastal conditions, public vessel status and departure assurance. Role: product strategy, systems design, command UX, React engineering and marine-operational research. |
A route-driven social running network built in Windhoek around compatible pace, intent, place, timing and earned trust—not empty follower counts. Its live Founder operations command turns early demand and product signals into accountable action. Role: founder, product strategy, design research, Android and web engineering, mapping, safety architecture, secure operations and infrastructure. |
A national air-medical coordination concept connecting mission intake, clinical and aviation readiness, authorization and attributable audit history. Role: systems design, design research, command UX, React engineering and Kotlin/Spring backend foundation. |
An aviation command, crew-readiness and rostering prototype that makes duty assumptions, readiness state, mission pressure and audit evidence legible. Role: product design, systems engineering, interaction design and prototype development. |
An interactive view of the systems, networking, security, research and product work behind the job titles. Signal: ten years of field experience, documented and made inspectable. |
| Reliability | Security | Design science | Product engineering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Networks, systems, service continuity, observability and documentation | Firewalls, access boundaries, evidence, governance and operational risk | Problem framing, artefact design, demonstration, evaluation and iteration | Research, UX, frontend, backend, infrastructure, launch and lifecycle thinking |
My standard: simple enough to understand, strong enough to trust, and documented well enough to survive the person who built it.
AI is part of the toolchain. Judgment, accountability and final ownership remain human.
I am open to conversations around resilient infrastructure, systems administration, network security, research collaboration and ambitious product work—especially ideas capable of creating practical value in Namibia.
