Tiaan du Plessis
Independent product engineer
I'm a product engineer based in Cape Town. I build the first serious version of software, then stay long enough to make it reliable.
My work runs across AI products, payments, security and fintech platforms, marketplaces, field operations, and internal tools. I'm usually closest to the product surface, but I'm comfortable owning the stack underneath it.
I work well where the brief is still taking shape: architecture, UX, APIs, data models, testing, and the unglamorous details that make a product hold together.
