🌍 I'm a Namibian software engineer based in Germany, building the operational backbone small business owners in Namibia don't have access to today.
💻 I've built scalable systems across Europe, Asia, and Africa — now I'm focused on giving small business owners in Namibia one place to run their whole business: people, stock, sales, funding, and compliance, all from a phone.
- 📱 Lu – A mobile app that gives small business owners in Namibia the operational leverage a well-resourced business gets from proper systems: managing people and assets, a real marketplace for buying and selling, flexible gig-based labour and delivery, access to funding through a two-sided marketplace with lenders, and guided compliance form-filling — no bank account, technical literacy, or extra apps required. (Lu started life as a farming app,
lufarmingin the code — the same unmet needs turned out to apply to any small business, not just farms.) - 🌞 Off-grid solar-powered infrastructure for internet and irrigation in rural Namibia.

I once debugged a solar-powered pump while a goat watched like I owed it money.
