genugc.ai
AI-native UGC platform I took from zero to launch, including product strategy, the build, and go-to-market. Founder & PM.
Durban, South Africa / Product + Growth
Product founder with a marketer's instinct. I take products from positioning to launch to the code that ships them — built genugc.ai, Lively, and RevFlow.

Building genugc.ai, Lively, and Duokast taught me there are no shortcuts. I had to own every part of getting a product out the door: the sales, the marketing, the code, and the design.
I build AI-native products end to end. That means everything from the first call on how to position something to the workflow that actually ships it.

Proof of the hybrid: marketing judgment, product ownership, and the technical fluency to actually ship.

Independent builds
A growing record of products I designed, developed, and shipped end to end.
An AI-powered collections assistant that automatically follows up with customers on WhatsApp, helping businesses keep outstanding payments moving without repetitive manual chasing.
I built the frontend in Next.js, used InsForge for authentication, the database, and scheduled cron jobs, then shipped the production application through Vercel.
