THE PERSON BEHIND NOVA LAB
I'm a freelance web and application developer based in South Africa, working with clients locally and internationally.
My experience ranges from Joomla, WordPress, Webflow and Framer websites to database-driven business applications built with PHP and Java/Spring Boot.
I particularly enjoy solving practical problems, whether that's repairing an existing website or turning a complicated manual process into a simple web application.
You work directly with me. The developer doing the work.
HOW I WORK
Start with what needs to work, not with a technology.
No unnecessary complexity or oversized stack.
Clear communication and a solution you can actually use.

You don't need a detailed technical specification. Tell me what you need or simply tell me what's not working.
