Johannesburg, South Africa. A shared machine, a slow connection, and an appetite for taking things apart before anyone taught me how they worked.

Nothing about the environment guaranteed a route into technology. That gap — between capability and access — is the reason most of what I build exists.

I run TechXplo for the engineering work, KleenKicks for the operational work, and Proof of Potential for the work that matters to people who are not in the room yet.

Software and operations teach different lessons. I keep both deliberately.

Infrastructure over features. Evidence over credentials. Systems over sparks.

Most work disappears because nobody recorded it. This archive is the correction — a record kept while the work is still happening.

To build things that stay useful after the attention moves on, and to shorten the distance between what someone can do and what they can prove.

Less, but better.
