Build the useful version
Turn an idea or early prototype into a focused piece of working software. Start with the business problem and the essential user journey.
01 / FRACTIONAL ENGINEERING
Senior engineering.
On the scale you need.
You need someone who can make sound decisions and get the work done. You may not need that person five days a week.
What we can work on.
Connect the moving parts
Backend services, APIs, databases, and integrations that connect your product to the systems your business relies on.
Unblock the existing product
Work through a difficult feature, a fragile service, or a backlog that needs senior engineering attention.
Add direction as well as delivery
Hands-on implementation with the architectural decisions, documentation, and knowledge transfer that help your team carry it forward.
WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY
A scoped piece of working software, the decisions behind it, and a clear handover. Scope and budget are agreed before implementation.
Grounded in real engineering.
My background spans full-stack engineering since 2005, long-term logistics platform work, and lead engineering across distributed financial systems. My core backend experience is in C#, .NET, SQL, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and operational reliability.
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before we start.
What does fractional mean?
You engage me for an agreed part of your engineering needs. That could be a defined piece of delivery or ongoing support, depending on fit and availability. It does not require a permanent hire.
Can we start small?
Yes. A focused problem and a limited scope are often the best place to start. Tell me your budget and constraints so we can decide what is useful and realistic.
Do you only work with South African companies?
I’m based in Stellenbosch and work remotely. South African businesses are a particular focus, and I’m open to discussing a fit with teams elsewhere.
LET’S FIND A USEFUL STARTING POINT.
Tell me where you’re stuck.
A short description, your timeframe, and the budget you have in mind are enough to start.
