// About

Who I am

I am a self-taught software and AI engineer building from Strand, Cape Town. I founded Linfy Tech Solutions to turn AI into tools people can actually use, protecting wildlife, digitizing the informal economy, and making security accessible.

My work runs from computer vision and multi-agent systems to full-stack products shipped end to end. I care about craft, but more about impact: software that reaches communities that usually get built for last, not first.

Faith sits at the center of it. Every project I ship carries the same signature: El Roi, the God who sees the work.
