Hire the Best Science Communication Freelancers
in South Africa

Top-rated Plus freelancer with 100% Job Success, helping founders, experts, and organizations clarify how their ideas, expertise, and offerings are positioned, communicated, and understood in the market. My Value I don’t just create content, I bring strategic clarity to complex thinking. My work sits at the intersection of: • Brand and positioning strategy • Strategic communication • Knowledge architecture Many businesses don’t have a capability problem; they have a positioning and communication problem. They are: • difficult to explain • undervalued by their audience • competing on the wrong dimensions • not translating their expertise into perceived value That’s where I come in. I specialize in identifying gaps between: • what a business is • how it communicates • how it is perceived and closing that gap through clear positioning, structured messaging, and high-impact communication. What I Help Clients Do Clients work with me when they need to: • Define or refine positioning and value propositions • Turn scattered ideas into a clear strategic direction • Develop messaging and narrative systems that actually land • Build thought leadership, books, and intellectual property • Translate complex offerings into clear, credible, and usable communication How I Work With 15+ years across publishing, education, marketing & sales, business development, and executive communication, I operate at both: • Strategy level — clarifying what needs to be said, how it should be positioned, and why • Execution level — translating that thinking into structured, high-quality outputs My approach combines: • Strategic thinking (what and why) • Structure (how it’s organized) • Narrative (how it lands) This ensures the final output is not just well-written, but aligned, differentiated, and actionable. What Sets Me Apart Clients value my ability to: • Bring clarity to ambiguous or complex ideas • Identify positioning and communication gaps quickly • Structure thinking in a way that supports decision-making • Bridge strategy and execution seamlessly • Deliver work that supports real-world application, not just readability Selected Work Includes • Brand positioning and strategic communication projects • Executive thought leadership and long-form content • Business and leadership books and frameworks • Knowledge systems and educational program development • Strategic communication consulting (including work with Emerj AI) • Multi-format publishing (Word, InDesign, long-form systems) If you’re looking for someone who can both define the thinking and execute it at a high level, I’d be glad to collaborate.

I have worked as a web developer for the past ~20 years, and since 2016 have worked remotely as an Upwork freelancer. I am particularly good at entering an existing, complicated system and figuring it out. Several years working with requirements and documentation in a mid-sized German corporation, together with several years as a teacher, have developed my ability to analyse and communicate complex and abstract ideas. I am at my best when the emphasis is on analysis and problem solving, and I can usually master new technologies relatively easily when they are needed to solve a particular task. I prefer implementing functionality, whether backend or frontend, rather than focusing on visual/UI design. Selected projects 2013 to the present:  May 2022 - Feb 2026 | Virtual learning environment - Laravel/PHP, Livewire, Tailwind CSS | 3,536 hours Four years developing a large mature VLE for postgraduate music education. Worked extensively on new modules including student applications, invoicing and payments, admin/student dashboards, course content management, quizzes, commenting, peer review and AI-generated video transcripts and summaries. Integrated services including PandaDoc, QuickBooks and Flywire. Mar 2017 - Jul 2024 | Global music subscription platform - SilverStripe/PHP, Vue.js, Stripe | 2,099 hours Several years of ongoing development in a Docker environment of a large international subscription platform, including Vue.js modules and multiple Stripe subscription/payment functions.

 I have recently been teaching myself agentic development with CLAUDE code, applying this to building a project of my own entitled "A Platform for Democracy". While, like many developers adapting to this way of working, I do miss the artisanal contact with the code itself, my analytical predisposition helps with breaking problems into tasks, giving the agent appropriate context and understanding its proposed solution and this participation in the process brings its own satisfaction. I have been particularly impressed by the workflow offered by Matt Pocock's custom skills sequence: from grill-with-docs; to-spec; to-tickets; implement (with tdd); and ending with code-review.  I enjoy working independently, taking responsibility for getting the job done without close supervision or micro-management. I communicate when communication is useful rather than requiring constant meetings - no daily Scrum required! My academic background:  a BSc Mathematics (with distinction), Applied Mathematics and Physics - University of Cape Town 
and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (Cum Laude) - University of South Africa  Professional Training: Kommunikationsprogrammierer (with distinction) - Siemens Nixdorf Training Centre in Munich, Germany My ~30 year development journey has taken me through some rather different technologies:  Punched cards (FORTRAN on a UNIVAC mainframe) - terminals (Cobol & Informix on a BS2000 mainframe) - procedural programming - structured programming - - OOP - client/server (JAVA) - multimedia (Macromedia Director) - web - MVC (PHP, javascript, jQuery) - frameworks (Silverstripe CMS, Laravel) - modern full-stack - APIs (Stripe, Flywire, Quickbooks, Pandadoc …) - and now AI-assisted / agentic development ... I'm particularly interested in projects with some positive social or environmental impact - for example civic tech, education, environmental projects or green energy - although this isn't a requirement. I'm available for 15–20 hours per week and would be happy to discuss how I could contribute to your project.
