Technical Director, TPTS Namibia · Founder and CEO, SolarSpin Technologies

I build systems that have to work beyond the pitch deck. At TPTS Namibia, I lead technical direction. Through SolarSpin, I turn difficult operating problems into products, infrastructure and digital experiences that can survive launch, support and handover.

Profile

I build systems that have to work beyond the pitch deck. My work sits between technical leadership, infrastructure, product architecture and the operating reality that decides whether a system stays useful after launch.

Since 5 October 2026, I have served as Technical Director at TPTS Namibia. I set technical direction, shape architecture and keep security, support, delivery risk and handover inside the product conversation from the beginning.

I am also the Founder and CEO of SolarSpin Technologies and Runnerz Namibia, and Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer of RightMatch Namibia. SolarSpin is the company behind my independent products, selected client experiences and research-led engineering work.

My route here runs through telecom NOC operations, offshore ICT and enterprise systems administration. Those environments taught me not to romanticise technology. If access is weak, documentation is missing or support has no clear path, the system is unfinished.

SELECTED PRODUCT SYSTEMS

Built beyond the brief.

Real problems, research-led decisions and working artefacts. SolarSpin is the company behind my independent product and selected client work.

The production systems stay private where they should. These public records show the problem, decisions, experience and engineering boundary without leaking operational details.
LIVE // NAMIBIA JOURNEY INTELLIGENCE PWA TPTS Grid editable route studio and shared MapLibre journey workspace
CURRENT TPTS PLATFORM / NAMIBIA TRAVEL NETWORK

TPTS Grid

A cinematic Namibia-first travel network built around the whole journey. One interactive Grid Navigator lets travellers explore 27 grounded destination anchors, compose and reorder their own routes, inspect route intelligence and move into a factual 28-stay directory without losing the map. Country Pulse adds forecast-led travel guidance and official safety contacts, while independent properties can apply directly through a human-verification workflow.

The production release is installable and carries an offline safety shell. Its launch atlas uses 33 distinct photographic image families—including 28 newly sourced Namibia photographs and an eight-scene Country Atlas—without recycling one landscape across the home narrative. Its network ledger documents 35 researched integration paths so TPTS can prepare for partner access without presenting an application path as a live connection.

Current boundary: the public stays directory is discovery context, not confirmed live room inventory; host applications cannot self-publish; the payment boundary remains guarded; and booking, merchant-payment and external-channel activation remain gated until their respective commercial and partner approvals are complete.

Namibia FinePay

A traceable traffic-fine concept following one reference from notice through payment, settlement and authority acknowledgement across seven purposeful surfaces.

LATEST CLIENT SYSTEM // LIVE ORDERING + OPERATIONS Ontoko Foods live egg-order and enquiry platform with pack selection and a human-confirmed request summary
LATEST CLIENT LAUNCH / NAMIBIAN FOOD COMMERCE

Ontoko Foods

A live, installable ordering and enquiry experience for Jane Auala's growing agricultural business. Households can choose an egg pack, pin a delivery point on OpenStreetMap and save a device-private return-client profile, while Jane's protected order desk supports review, export and fulfilment.

Launch boundary: every request is personally confirmed for stock, price and fulfilment. Cash order requests are live. OneGate-hosted EFT / Pay by Bank, Google Pay and Apple Pay remain activation-gated until Ontoko receives its payment-capable merchant profile and settlement configuration.

ANONYMOUS // CONTROLLED-PILOT CONCEPT Anonymous Fuel Retail Digital Platform case study by SolarSpin Technologies
CURRENT CASE STUDY / FUEL RETAIL SYSTEMS

Fuel Retail Digital Platform

One transaction can look like four different jobs. This concept joins a customer wallet, station checkout, fleet controls and an operations console on one transaction spine. Product classification, promotional rules, fleet policy, idempotent approvals, reconciliation and the evidence trail are treated as system behaviour, not staff memory.

Public boundary: this is an independent controlled-pilot concept. It is not a live financial service, a production-certified payment product or evidence of a client relationship. The commercial prospect remains anonymous.

The final production release completed a 146-check deployed verification gate covering booking-window boundaries, booking collisions, daily chair capacity, payment-proof privacy, return-client logic, PWA behaviour, metadata previews, live links and desktop, mobile and compact-landscape presentation.

2026 SOURCE-LINKED // NATIONAL CIVIC PWA + OPERATIONS PDM Namibia national digital platform in the movement's blue, red and white identity
FLAGSHIP BUILD / NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC INFRASTRUCTURE

PDM Namibia · National Digital Platform

A cinematic public PWA and civic operating foundation built around a source-linked 2026 public record. It brings PDM's leadership, policy, parliamentary work, news and structures together with a national OpenStreetMap authority layer for offices, representatives and councillors, plus guided membership, public-idea, parliamentary, constituency, contact and nonbinding-support journeys.

Behind the public experience is a protected operations console for reviewing intake, publishing verified offices and authorities, and managing the lifecycle of party assets. Every public authority record requires source evidence and verification; sensitive submissions stay private by default.

Launch boundary: real-data intake remains closed unless and until PDM records its governance approval and the production controls are verified. Support submissions are nonbinding and take no payment. Administration is not yet role- or region-scoped, and Microsoft 365/SharePoint is a separately governed next stage.

Evidence boundary: exact trails stay local and controlled handset proof is complete. The signed code-16 AAB is validated, all 11 Play setup tasks are complete, 13 store changes are in review and the 36-person Alpha tester group is assigned. Outdoor endurance, genuine-run banking, paired-watch mirroring, Google approval and the 12-testers-for-14-days production gate remain tracked work.

Version 20.0 carries forward the protected 3,795-track Library Vault, five evidence-led Smart Spaces, reversible Queue Director, Flow State, Sonic Atlas, Pace Brain, Momentum Engine, thirty-five persistent badges, Sonic Forge and Sonic Recall. The Google Play release advances the build to version code 22; the exact Vault checksum and full library remain intact, physical Capsule export/restore is verified, and Android test, lint, debug and release gates pass. Its Namibia-only Alpha track is active, release 20.0 Signal Command (22) is in review and the 36-person tester group is assigned. The relay keeps an aggregate-only completion contract, while a genuine GPS run remains the final callback field-acceptance step.
