At Contentful, I build the semantic layer—event-driven pipelines that vectorize millions of content items, the vector databases that store them, and the APIs powering search, recommendations, and duplicate detection. Before moving into AI/ML, I spent two and a half years on billing pipelines, audit logging, and performance optimization.

I've worked across the full stack: React and TypeScript on the frontend, Node and Postgres on the backend, Terraform and AWS for infrastructure. I'm comfortable in early-stage startups shipping fast and in larger companies where reliability and scale matter.

Earlier in my career, I was a civil engineer in Zimbabwe — designing water networks and managing infrastructure projects. I volunteered for the GIS department, which led to a GIS analyst role, then software development at ESRI South Africa. That background still shapes how I think about software: systems, constraints, dependencies, failure modes.
