What I build

Full-stack, DevOps, infrastructure — one obsession with shipping things that work.
01
Full Stack Apps
TypeScript, React, Node.js, and Go — from pixel-perfect frontends to hardened APIs. Built on real production systems, not side-project tutorials.
→
02
DevOps & Infra
Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Jenkins CI/CD, RabbitMQ, Zabbix. I build and maintain the pipelines that keep production alive.
→
03
Systems & APIs
Custom client APIs, CRM systems, geo-based CDN architecture, and enterprise integrations. Complex problems, clean solutions.
→
04
AI Integration
Claude API, ChatGPT, Power Automate, and workflow automation — wiring AI into real products that people actually use.

How I work

From first brief to live product — built right, shipped once.
01

Scope

Tell me the problem, the stack, and the deadline. I ask the right questions upfront so nothing breaks later.

02

Design

Architecture first, code second. I plan the system, the data flow, and the edge cases before writing a single line.

03

Build

Clean code, tested, and documented. Full-stack from database to UI — or just the layer you need.

04

Ship

Deployed, monitored, and handed over properly. CI/CD, containerised, production-ready — not just "works on my machine."

something.

About me

Carpenter turned engineer. Durban, South Africa.

I'm Marco — a South African developer who started life as a carpenter. I built furniture before I built software, and that background gave me something most developers don't have: an obsession with things that actually work.

Self-taught from the ground up, I transitioned into software development and worked at Decidio, doing full-stack development on the Truendo product — a real, live, production system used by real enterprise clients.

I write code the same way I used to cut timber — measure twice, ship once.
