About Me & My Development Journey I'm a full-stack web developer with over 4 years of experience building custom PHP/MySQL solutions for South African small businesses. My journey started when I realized that many local entrepreneurs struggle to find affordable, high-quality websites that actually work for their specific needs — not generic templates that don't fit their business model. I specialize in building complete e-commerce ecosystems that go beyond just "adding to cart." I build user authentication, payment integrations, order management systems, and admin dashboards from scratch. Recent Projects Luxe Light A luxury e-commerce platform featuring product galleries, Yoco payment integration, user accounts, and a workshop booking system. The client needed to sell products AND accept event bookings through one checkout flow, which I achieved with a unified cart system. Yaya's Tuckshop A dual-mode ordering platform supporting both daily purchases AND weekly advance planning. Parents can add items for multiple children across 5 school days, then pay once for the entire week. The system handles child profiles, grade/class assignments, and real-time cart aggregation across days. Bee Kreationz An artisanal e-commerce site with product image carousels, dynamic category filtering, and a dual checkout/inquiry system. Products marked "Price on Request" trigger an inquiry modal with email/WhatsApp options, while standard products go directly to cart. My Technical Approach I write clean, documented PHP with secure SQL queries. Every site includes responsive design, session management, and proper error handling. I integrate payment gateways (Yoco, PayFast), build custom admin panels, and ensure mobile-first layouts. What Clients Appreciate I don't just "deliver code." I deliver a complete solution, including database setup, API integration, testing, and a handover guide. I communicate clearly, meet deadlines, and treat every project like it's my own business.
