Practical software.
Real-world thinking.
I'm Richard van Wyk. I build web and mobile applications, connected business systems, and AI-enabled workflows informed by hands-on experience in IT and production engineering.

01 / Selected work
From a working problem
to a useful product.
A selection of software projects, prototypes, and hands-on engineering work.
02Cross-platform prototyping
FlutterFlow application
A personally built application exploring visual app construction, Supabase-backed workflows, and iterative product development across platforms.
Beyond the screen
Voron 2.4 & custom motion systems
A complete mechanical, electronics, and firmware build that expanded production capability to a 350 mm print envelope. The motion-control experience also informed a CNC-made, motorised 360-degree product display.
02 / Experience
Built on more than code.
My background spans enterprise IT, digital manufacturing, and software. I study how a business works, identify friction, and build practical systems from discovery through deployment and improvement.
That mix helps me connect the application on a screen with the people and processes behind it.
2026 – Present
Software & solution architecture
Custom software, AI-enabled workflows, integrations, and operational improvement. Work spans discovery, process mapping, dashboards, web and mobile applications, and phased delivery.
2020 – February 2026
Technical Support & Engineer
Swakop Signworld
IT and production engineering across CNC systems, CAD/CAM, 3D printing, equipment troubleshooting, and operator training.
April 2017 – 2020
IT Assistant
BDO Namibia
Enterprise support, Windows infrastructure, endpoint deployment, virtualisation, scripting, and software-vulnerability remediation.
03 / How I work
Understand.
Connect.
Build.
Start with the workflow
Discovery and process mapping reveal the practical problem, the people involved, and where a better system can help.
Choose a maintainable foundation
Architecture, data modelling, integrations, and security boundaries guide build-versus-buy decisions and delivery scope.
Develop with human review
AI-assisted development and automation support the process, alongside context control, human review, and iterative improvement.
