Hey 👋 I'm Daniel, a Software Engineer from Cape Town with 5+ years building services and systems that scale. I specialize in backend architecture, cloud infrastructure, and observability.
I've always been drawn to building - first by tinkering with lego and computers(both hardware and software), and later by turning that curiosity into a career shipping systems that solve real business problems.
Over the past 5+ years, I've built and scaled backend systems across startup environments and high-growth retail, Shoprite's Sixty60 and TFG's Bash.com. I'm product-minded in how I build: reliability, observability, and sound engineering practices are non-negotiable. Right now, I'm investing heavily in AI-augmented engineering workflows to move faster without sacrificing quality.
When I'm not immersed in code, I'm usually exploring purpose-driven ideas.
You'll find more of that in my blog and at ecoactive.org.za.
