About

ECSA Registered Engineering Technologist + PG Dip BA. I understand what a tool needs to achieve, not just how to build it.

My background
How it works

From problem to working software

No jargon, no drawn-out process. Three steps from "this is slowing us down" to a tool that does the work.

01
Tell me the problem

A quick message or call about what's slowing you down. I reply within 24 hours with honest thoughts on what I'd build and what it'll cost — fixed price, no surprises.

02
Prototype in a week

You get a working prototype within the first week — to try and give feedback on, before the bulk of the work happens. You see it taking shape, not just a promise.

03
Delivered & supported

Built, tested and handed over — in production, saving you time from day one. Optional ongoing support keeps it running smoothly as your needs grow.

Products

Software I own & sell

Beyond client work — software I've built and license to businesses that need it.

"Jan-Louis built a PDF extraction tool that saves us about 20 hours a week. Our team went from manual data entry to one-click exports. It just works."
