me&u is a hospitality scale-up that provides an in-venue Ordering and Payment solution to the restaurant industry with deep integrations into Point of Sale, along with an integrated CRM product.

I joined me&u (when it was called Mr Yum) to support the launch into the UK market, building Point of Sale integrations providing in-time-zone support to the team on the ground. Since then I have taken the reins of the global integrations team, taking responsibility for sending orders to the POS, keeping menus in sync with the POS and printing in-venue.

Tip4Change is a cashless tipping product built for the uniquely South African challenge of migrating informal and formal workers from cash tips to the cashless economy.

I joined as a technical co-founder and built the entire platform.

Tip4Change was sold in 2023, continues to grow and I have been brought back into the fold as a technical liaison for the new team.

Myself and my co-founders put together a team to bring the Mr Yum product into the South African market during the Covid19 pandemic, where restaurants suddenly needed robust online ordering.

My role was to integrate into local PSPs that supported South African payments, integrate into local Point of Sale systems, build a scalable payout solution and do some ad-hoc localisation where we found gaps.

I joined beverage dispensing startup IntelliCup after building their initial prototype at Special Products and Technologies.

I co-managed the design and manufacture of the hardware through several iterations, and co-managed the design and build of the cloud platform. Once built, took over the cloud platform, mobile apps and the device firmware, implementing modern software development practices as well as new features such as region based PSPs, auto revenue splitting, automatic payouts and a deposit system. I also flew to the US to work with a local lab to get the hardware FCC and UL certified.

Myself and the team flew around the world running events and investor roadshows in multiple countries with partners including Live Nation.
