Showcase

Scope

• One platform serving Australia, the UK, Brazil and South Africa, each with its own database and localized content
• Full order lifecycle: quote → confirm → finalize → deliver
• Broadcast-quality audio processing — EBU R128 loudness checks, duration validation and format conversion
• Automated delivery to broadcaster networks with end-to-end tracking
• A modern REST API and background worker services doing the heavy lifting

My technical contribution

I'm leading a phased modernization of a large, long-running system — introducing a modern .NET REST API and clean domain boundaries alongside the existing platform. The business keeps operating while the architecture is renewed, avoiding a risky "big bang" rewrite. Automated code generation keeps the data layer consistent and removes the bulk of hand-written boilerplate.

Scope

• Entry lifecycle — category selection, multi-step entry forms, media attachment and validation
• A media pipeline that converts video and generates thumbnails in the background
• Online judging workflows, including finalist and Grand Prix selection
• Reliable award duplication for each new awards season
• A public archive presenting winning work with full credits

My technical contribution

I'm re-platforming a 15-year-old legacy system onto a modern, maintainable foundation while preserving the look and feel entrants already trust. A clean API architecture and a background media-processing pipeline mean large volumes of entries and video are handled reliably through the peak entry rush.

Scope

• Customer website with live unit availability, pricing, online reservations and payment
• Three separate legacy systems consolidated into one platform with a single customer view across all branches
• Staff portal for sales, contracts, tenants, ticketing and transport logistics
• An integration layer wrapping the legacy SiteLink system, exposing 260+ operations as modern APIs
• Safe, validated migration of data off the old systems

My technical contribution

I designed the architecture for a full digital transformation — applying Domain-Driven Design to carve a tangle of legacy systems into clear business domains, with an anti-corruption layer that isolates the legacy SiteLink dependency. The result is a single source of truth for customers, automated communications, and a platform that can grow without accumulating technical debt.

Scope

• Modernization of a legacy AngularJS / .NET Framework product onto Angular 21 + .NET 10
• A Backend-for-Frontend architecture with cloud identity (Microsoft Entra ID) replacing on-premise Active Directory
• Offline-first capability so consultants can work and present without connectivity, syncing when reconnected
• A branded design system aligned to the Alexforbes identity
• Interactive data visualization and scenario modelling — the next delivery phase

My technical contribution

I'm leading the modernization with a security-first architecture where authentication tokens never reach the browser, and a phased, zero-downtime rollout so consultants migrate at their own pace. Clean architectural seams — a provider-agnostic identity layer, shared libraries and an offline sync layer — cut future risk and cost.

Scope

• Domain-led design first — a DDD domain map of eight bounded contexts, an architecture evaluation, and a phased roadmap with value gates between phases
• Built so far: the case-management core (full case lifecycle), reference data, work tasks, and a React admin interface
• Working integrations with Google Calendar (scheduling) and QuickBooks (billing), plus a web-push notifications proof-of-concept
• In design: the technician scheduling & dispatch engine, equipment & inventory tracking, full billing, and reporting
• An event-based audit trail aligned to POPIA for sensitive medical-case data

My technical contribution

I'm establishing the architecture and domain model from the ground up — mapping the business into clear bounded contexts and choosing a pragmatic, hybrid event-driven design that gives a full audit trail without the weight of full event sourcing. The phased roadmap moves the business from after-the-fact transcription to capturing events at the source, and proves value at each step before committing to the next.
