MOVE AROUND. STAY CURIOUS.
SCROLL TO EXPLORE I’m Jannik. Software architect,
game developer, and a little
obsessed with making things.
ONE MIND. MANY RABBIT HOLES.
I build worlds you can get lost in. Tools you can make things with. And systems that bring it all together.

From a future Cape Town to the next sound in your studio.
This is what I’m putting into the world.

THE CREATIVE HOMEOne home for the tools, worlds, audio experiments and strange ideas that connect this work.
Project hubA HUMAN, BEHIND ALL OF THIS.
BUILT ON
CURIOSITY.
Fourteen years building software.
Still asking, “what if?”
My day job is building financial-services systems at Sanlam Fintech. My independent work lives somewhere between game development, AI, music, and the tools I wish existed.
Before that: seven years at 24.com, from full-stack developer to solutions architect, leading the News24 platform rebuild.
Off screen: music, food, wine, cats. And Cape Town—a city that keeps finding its way into everything I make.
A little more about meON THE WORKBENCH / OCTOBER 2026
Procedural cities. Building tools. Cables, utilities and HLOD workflows.
The audio suite. HAUNT’s pitch-correction preview. New DAW experiments.
EVERY GOOD THING STARTS SOMEWHERE.
