About Me

Hey, I'm Tino, a Software Engineer and freelance developer with a genuine passion for all things tech. I enjoy building digital solutions of all kinds: from websites and internal business tools to mobile apps, AI-powered products, and even video games. For me, every project is an opportunity to solve a problem while creating something people genuinely enjoy using.

I embrace AI as a tool that helps us build faster and smarter, but I also believe the best software still feels thoughtfully crafted. As development and design become increasingly uniform, I aim to build products with personality, clarity, and a human touch. The projects below reflect the systems I've built, the teams I've worked with, and the experiences I've enjoyed creating.

Selected Work

Husky Mascot
Africa Meat Expo

Africa Meat Expo

I helped build the digital platform powering Africa Meat Expo 2026, creating systems for exhibitor onboarding, sponsorship management, stand allocation, ticketing, and event operations. The project challenged me to think beyond individual features and design workflows capable of supporting a large-scale industry event with both business participants and attendees.

The Atlas Six

The Atlas Six

The Atlas Six is an RPG I've been building around a custom JavaScript story engine. What started as a personal challenge evolved into a narrative system capable of tracking player decisions, branching storylines, and long-term consequences. The project combines my interests in software engineering, game design, and storytelling into a single world that continues to grow with every update.

Frozen Finds

Frozen Finds

Frozen Finds is an e-commerce platform serving customers across the Eastern Cape. I worked on improving the online experience, helping the business showcase its growing catalogue while making it easier for customers to browse products, place orders, and engage with the brand. The project gave me practical experience working with real business requirements and day-to-day operational needs.

Roomy

Roomy

Roomy is an experimental product I've been building to explore how intelligent tools can assist architects, designers, and property professionals. The platform transforms floor plans into realistic visual concepts, helping bridge the gap between technical drawings and client-facing presentations. More than anything, it has become a playground for exploring product design, frontend architecture, and emerging technologies.

SplashScreen

SplashScreen

SplashScreen was my final-year capstone project and one of the first products I carried from concept to delivery. The platform helps pool owners simplify maintenance, reduce water waste, and connect with trusted service providers. Alongside the web platform, I also contributed to the Android application that formed part of the wider ecosystem.

Old Portfolio

Old Portfolio

My previous portfolio was more than a personal website. It was a space where I explored ideas, showcased projects, and experimented with different ways of presenting myself as a developer. Alongside my work, it features Passion, an AI chatbot trained around my portfolio, a music visualizer, a gamified quest system, and other interactive experiences that reflected my love for software, design, and storytelling.

Built Together With Great People.

I've had the privilege of working with people from different industries, from farmers and photographers to animators and small business owners. The common thread isn't the industry; it's the ambition to build something meaningful. My role is to make the technology feel simple and help bring that vision to life.
