The problem

A WhatsApp-based job platform (Altur), Harambee Youth Accelerator's move from a mobisite to WhatsApp, and eButler's WhatsApp ordering with payments through Flash.
South African couples plan across fragmented directories, WhatsApp messages and opaque “price on request” listings, while many international tools don't support local multi-ceremony wedding journeys.
Centralised the customer journey and operational data, reduced manual hand-offs and set up a documented AWS foundation.

What was built

—
A Next.js and Supabase marketplace with two Kotlin / Jetpack Compose Android apps on Google Play: one for couples, one for vendors. Thuli, the AI planner, is a LangGraph supervisor coordinating 16 specialist agents.
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.
