About

About Full-stack and AI

Brandon van Vuuren
Brandon van Vuuren, Vanderbijlpark

I work across React, Next.js, Node, Python, C# and C++, with a deep seam in ASP.NET migration and a working practice in applied AI. The common thread is maintainability: clear boundaries, honest error handling, and code the next person can read at 3am without a guide.

  1. 01 Full-stack & AI engineering

    Building production systems end to end: modern frontends, scalable APIs, and models wired into features people actually press buttons on.

  2. 02 .NET Framework 4 to .NET 8

    Migrating legacy ASP.NET estates onto modern .NET with strict architecture standards: clear boundaries, testable seams, no rewrite-by-vibes.

  3. 03 Streaming at 10k events/sec

    Kafka pipelines feeding real-time dashboards, with anomaly detection and alerting that holds up under load rather than in a demo.

  4. 04 Fine-tuning that pays for itself

    LoRA/QLoRA pipelines with automated evaluation and a measured 60% lower training cost.
