The problem

Centralised the customer journey and operational data, reduced manual hand-offs and set up a documented AWS foundation.
Fashion-commerce recommendations usually optimise for another purchase without understanding what the customer already owns.
Integrated the installer management system into Multichoice's payment process so installers are paid accurately and on time.

What was built

Led architecture and hands-on engineering for an online booking platform: Python APIs and the AWS deployment architecture, integrated with Paystack, Sage Accounting, Zoho Bigin and Zoho SalesIQ.
Fashionly grounds recommendations in the user's wardrobe, builds outfits from existing items and recommends products only where a genuine wardrobe gap exists. Khanya, a LangGraph stylist with about 15 typed tools, handles wardrobe access, catalogue search, saved looks and human-stylist bookings.
