Full stack developer with over 20 years of experience in Software Development and Web Design. Focus on minimal design and mobile-optimized experiences. Experience in both front-end and back-end technologies since 1999. Built stand-alone systems for large corporations. As well as single-use applications for once off's. We build strong customer relationships that stand the test of time.

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!

I've worked in PHP on Moodle and AWS for many years. I've set up a fully scalable environment for thousands of learners, and also integrated with many external systems. I am proficient in PHP, SQL, Apache/Nginx, Linux and Cloud systems. I have extensive experience in AWS as well as managing platforms in Google Cloud. Along with all of these skills, I utilise my critical thinking to solve problems in various scenarios, and verbose communication to ensure all parties have a shared understanding. My experience ranges from simple AWS EC2 servers running the LAMP/LEMP stack to working on distributed systems, e.g. API integrations between platforms and writing code to handle thousands of transactions and millions of data records.
