Galen Myburgh
Five years shipping Flutter and React — a buy-now-pay-later app used by hundreds of thousands of people, a cashless wallet that settles on an NFC card with no signal, and the AI products I work on now. Mostly the kind of system where being approximately right is the same as being wrong.

Internal / SME security · 2024

Edge runs on-device, no continuous upload
Most of what goes wrong on a project goes wrong before anyone writes code, so this is the part I take seriously.
01
Whose problem is this, how bad is it, and what happens if we do nothing? A brief that can't answer those isn't ready to build against.
02
Ship something real early, against real data. Boring code a stranger can change in six months beats clever code only I can.
03
Crash reporting and analytics from day one. At Payflex, Crashlytics decided what got refactored — without that signal you are guessing.
