My Story

Professional Summary

As a versatile Frontend Engineer with over 6 years of experience across South Africa's tech landscape, I've built a reputation for delivering exceptional web solutions that combine technical excellence with creative vision. My journey from PHP development to modern JavaScript frameworks has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the web development ecosystem.

Working with companies like MWEB, DeepAlert, and Pisval Tech has honed my ability to adapt to diverse environments—from established corporations to innovative startups. I excel in translating complex requirements into elegant, user-centered interfaces that drive business growth and enhance user engagement.

My expertise spans both frontend and backend technologies, with particular strength in React, Vue.js, and modern JavaScript. I'm equally comfortable working independently as a contractor or collaborating within cross-functional teams, bringing a solution-oriented mindset to every project I undertake.
