New to Upwork, Looking for all opportunities to build my Upwork profile and ready to assist you with my expertise, give me a chance and you won't regret it. I enjoy to teach others my knowledge than to only sell my services. I offer services but also find fulfilment in providing educational teachings. At the end of my high school career I was head hunted by a prestigious IT company in my local area that I was living in, at that time. Having done some part time work for them while I was still in school they offered me a permanent position upon finishing high school. I worked for this company for 7 years while working my way to the top and studying part time as a Network Engineering student. Upon graduating I found a more suitable position at another company as an Engineer which I worked for another 2 years doing servers, networks, cloud and project management. After this, I moved on to find another job as a Senior Systems Engineer which I also had worked for another 2 years. After 2 years I decided to immigrate out of my home country of South Africa to a small European country known as Georgia where I currently have resided for the last 4 years where I take on private jobs, own a small business that does some hosting and drop servicing for local and international clients and freelancing on various platforms and taking on short term contracts when the opportunity arises. Overall I have 15years experience working in the IT industry and I am looking to maintain the freelancing opportunities as I enjoy to work remotely and having the flexibility of my own working hours. While I spend a lot of time working I like to ensure that I balance life and work equally.

"I’ll often joke that when people ask what business analysis is, I say: ‘You know all those times people say, “somebody should look into that?” I’m the person that looks into that.’” – Jonathan Haskel --- With roots in education, tech, and business, I turn messy ideas into clean, executable systems. Specialising in AI software development, digital transformation, and end-to-end delivery. Taking founder chaos, startup velocity, and enterprise complexity and converting it into structured momentum. I sit comfortably at the intersection of people, process, and systems. Whether it’s mapping workflows, refining operations, or turning a massive Figma ecosystem into a developer-ready blueprint, I close gaps fast and align teams that don’t usually speak the same language. I’m tool-agnostic, outcome-obsessed, and built for environments where clarity is a luxury and execution is non-negotiable. Atlassian, Confluence, AI workflows, automations, documentation, or full-stack delivery... I treat them as extensions of the job, not buzzwords. My background spans ICT, SaaS, BI, product delivery, customer success, workforce systems, mobile apps, integrations, and data-heavy environments across global, remote-first teams. High-stakes work doesn’t rattle me; it sharpens me. If an organisation wants to scale with intent, meaning cleaner systems, sharper processes, faster delivery, and less bullshit; that’s where I add the most value.
