Currently at Indigo Health, where I lead payments infrastructure with a team of 13. Designed the reconciliation system that matches 8 million transactions a day. Wrote the idempotency service that now handles 45 million requests a day. Before that: FirstRand and Interswitch. Most at home with Java and idempotency. I mentor students through university programmes.
