About Me

Brett Scheepers

I'm Brett Scheepers, a fullstack software engineer with four years of professional experience building web applications that solve real problems. From streamlining merchant onboarding at a leading payments company to architecting retail solutions for one of South Africa's largest groups, I've consistently delivered software that moves the needle.

I specialise in microservices architecture, fullstack development, and AI workflow implementation. My experience spans the entire stack — from crafting responsive React frontends to designing robust Node.js and C# backends, all backed by solid cloud infrastructure on AWS. I'm equally comfortable spinning up a Dockerised microservice as I am fine-tuning a user interface.

I'm currently available for freelance engagements. Whether you need a greenfield application built from scratch, an existing system modernised, or an extra pair of experienced hands on your team — let's talk.
