engineer.
Building things that ship.
I'm Derrick Makhubedu — founder of Jubilant Innovations. Full stack engineer building payment platforms, real-estate systems and tools that move money, data and decisions. Currently architecting payments at Collinson and shipping the Just Energy Transition platform at Surveya.
I care about software that earns its weight — payment rails that don't drop transactions, dashboards that read like instrument panels, and APIs that other engineers actually want to use. Less ornament. More signal.
