Craft better
systems, faster
I build resilient cloud architectures, distributed backends, and full-stack software for modern, ambitious teams.
Engineering with a systems mindset
Software engineering student and aspiring Cloud/DevOps engineer based in Cape Town, South Africa.
I work across the full development lifecycle — from designing intuitive interfaces and high-performance backends to building APIs, relational schemas, authentication flows, CI/CD automation, cloud infrastructure, and live production deployments.
My hands-on toolkit spans TypeScript, Python, Java, React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Cloudflare (R2/Workers), Docker, and GitHub Actions across AWS and Microsoft Azure.
Hands-on live digital routing matrixes (Midas/Behringer) and microsecond latency optimizations mapped directly into asynchronous network architecture.
Technical Peer Tutor at WeThinkCode_, mentoring student cohorts through code reviews, OOP design patterns, SQL workshops, and AWS cloud sessions.

Work & Mentorship
Technical Peer Tutor
WeThinkCode_ • Cape Town, South Africa
- Facilitate hands-on code reviews, pair-programming sessions, and architecture workshops for student developer cohorts.
- Lead technical mentorship sessions on OOP design patterns in Java/Python, relational database design with SQL, and cloud fundamentals.
- Diagnose complex concurrency, socket communication, and memory issues during multi-week software sprints.
Full-Stack & Cloud Engineer
Freelance / Independent • Remote / Cape Town
- Architect and deploy production web platforms including TrustLedger (community fintech ledger) and Healing Botanicals (e-commerce).
- Implement multi-tenant PostgreSQL databases with strict Row Level Security (RLS) policies and Cloudflare R2 edge asset pipelines.
- Set up continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines automating linting, test suites, and zero-downtime static/edge builds.
Live Audio & Systems Engineering
Live Production Systems • Cape Town
- Manage digital audio console routing matrices (Midas M32 / Behringer X32) with multi-channel digital routing over AES50.
- Optimize microsecond latency pipelines for live multi-track audio distribution, applying real-time systems principles to software engineering.

What clients say
Thoughtful feedback from peers, developers, and team members who trusted the process, direction, and final result.
"Working with Mogau on distributed architectures and CI/CD pipelines felt incredibly smooth. The direction was clear from the beginning, and the final delivery made our system scale with precision and confidence."
"The process was thoughtful, fast, and highly organized. Every design and architectural decision felt intentional, and the resulting platform made our product feel much more polished."
"Mogau helped turn a complex fintech specification into a refined, high-performance visual analytics dashboard. The work felt clean, strategic, and exactly aligned with where we wanted to go."
