Hire the Best Desktop Applications Developers
in South Africa

I run my own IT agency from Durban, South Africa, and have done work for clients in various South African provinces, and across the globe. I specialise in creating custom Microsoft Access databases and have worked at small business, corporate, and municipal levels. In Ethekwini I have assisted municipality departments as follows: * Electricity Department: Complaints Management System * Parks Department: Cemeteries Management System * Libraries Department: Database for research results * Parks Department: Palms Database In the corporate world I have created an invoicing system for an international shipping company, as well as a dock pass system. I am currently in negotiations with the same client for creating a job card system for one of their departments. Another project was to create a warehouse management system for one of the biggest fresh produce suppliers to major distributors. In between those projects I have assisted multiple small businesses in migrating from spreadsheets that no longer server their growing businesses to efficient databases. I typically create the specifications with the clients, then build and test the system, and once it is ready, install it on their computers or network and train their staff. In some cases I am retained to further enhance the systems as the businesses grow, and assist the clients with ensuring that system rules are being followed by users and the databases are properly maintained. Apart from the software development side of my business, I also do transcription work. I specialize in delivering 100% accurate transcriptions in the shortest possible turn-around time, provided that the audio is clear. I use professional transcription software. Although my home language is Afrikaans, I am an advanced English speaker and hold a Master's degree in English. Apart from these two main categories of specialization, I offer software support in a number of desktop applications and have an active Helpline, offering support to private clients or companies who may not have in-house IT staff. One of the perks of working independently is the ability to take on new projects in a variety of fields. It enables me to apply what I have learned, but also to learn even more and improve my skills to the benefit of my customers.

Please note: I am currently focusing on selected projects and long-term local collaborations. Most recent 4 year project focused on Laravel, Livewire, Filament and Tailwind CSS. I am a software developer with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Mathematics (with distinction), Applied Mathematics and Physics from the University of Cape Town. I also hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (Cum Laude) from the University of South Africa. I have 25 years’ experience in a wide range of technologies ranging from main frame computing, desktop applications, multimedia to web applications. Since 2016 I have worked remotely with great success. Having had several years experience analysing and managing requirements and documentation as part of my responsibilities in a mid-sized German corporation as well as several years’ experience as a teacher, I pride myself on my abilities to comprehend and communicate complex abstract problems. I am at my best in situations where there is a greater focus on the analysis and problem solving itself than on the technologies to be employed: I can master new technologies relatively easily as they are required to solve a task. For the past 15+ years I have worked as a web developer. After several years focusing on working with the Silverstripe framework I am now shifting back to working ideally with Laravel - Next.js - TailwindCss. I prefer to focus on implementing the functionality (whether backend or frontend) to the frontend UI design aspects. My experience has included: - 6+ years developing and maintaining a complex CRM built upon the Silverstripe CMS / framework: other technologies implemented included building forms using TypeForms, generating PDF reports using wkhtmltopdf and PhantomJS, embedding interactive charts using Fusion Charts and using the Straker API to manage translations - Several years working with another large Silverstripe site adding Vue.js and multiple Stripe subscription functionalities in particular - A complex Vue SPA designed for employee competency assessments - Work on two projects with Vue.js and AWS Amplify. Also used in these: TailwindCss, GraphQl and Gridsome - I have been getting to know Next.js - React and would like to deepen my experience in this area I am well-versed in standard technologies such as Html, MySql, CSS, jQuery, ES6. I enjoy working independently and fulfilling the client’s expectations without requiring micro-management, getting on with the job and communicating with the client only when absolutely necessary. With tech trends changing every 6 months, developers will usually have to fill in some gaps in knowledge and experience when embarking on a new project: I treat the distinction between my own study time and paid work time strictly, though some clients allow some research to be included as paid when dealing with technologies that are new to the team. I expect to spend an additional 20% of my time in unpaid study. I look forward to working with your team in the near future!
