Co-founder & CTO at Provision Software, where we use machine learning to read construction documents — blueprints, specs, cost databases — and turn them into structured data. Construction is a trillion-dollar industry that still runs on manual processes and PDFs. I like that kind of problem: messy, real, and worth solving.
Before Provision I built SmartWage (earned wage access on WhatsApp) and co-founded DigsConnect (student accommodation marketplace in South Africa). Some of these worked, some didn't, all taught me something.
I grew up in Cape Town and now live in Toronto. Outside of work I'm interested in multi-agent AI systems, self-hosting infrastructure, and helping people make the jump into startups.
