Web applications
Custom websites, full web applications and the internal tools behind a business: accounts, dashboards and forms that do real work and take repetitive work off people, built to load fast on an ordinary phone.
PixelLumo · available for new work
Websites, software and games, built from scratch.
I build practical web applications, internal tools, digital products and games — from the first idea through to production. Everything below is real, working software, and 2 projects are live right now.

// What I build
Three kinds of work, each one backed by something you can open and use.
SaaS & platforms
Customer-facing platforms with sign-in, subscriptions and payments, public APIs and the admin tools behind them.
Games & interactive products
Games for the web, desktop and mobile — from a browser idle game, with its Android app in closed testing, to a 3D motorsport manager and a suite of accessible card games.
// Featured work
Two products in production: a South African civic record anyone can add to without an account, and a game on the web, with its Android app in closed testing.
