Experience
I've been working online for just shy of two decades and in that time I co-founded a small agency and brought a number of digital brands to market.
Technical Director / Co-founder @ EdenHub
Working as the technical lead, I've been responsible for setting up our digital infrustructure, design and development of our site and the multi-vendor marketplace
Freelancer @ SmokeyFro
I spent the past six months freelancing while I work on a number of side-projects, which include Mzango (a backpackers guide to South Africa) and setting up a tented camp on our family farm. Currently taking on new projects.
Front-end Developer @ WineFolly
I was initially contracted to rebuild the popular wine blog and information site WineFolly.com, but stayed on for a year and a half to work directly with WineFolly's founder, award winning book author Madeline Puckette.
Creative Director @ Web Monkeys
Apart from co-running the business, my responsibilities included desiging our web properties, themes, plugin interfaces and marketing material. I also took the lead on our product support and writing technical documentation.
Partner @ Nomad Studios
We started Nomad Studios to provide web design services to companies in the real-estate sector. In the two years it was operational, we worked on small agency sites, to fully-featured property portals and everything in-between.
Partner @ NuVue Trading
A former collegue and I setup an e-commerce site that provided wholesale label clothing to other retailers selling on eBay. While initially profitable, we ended up shutting it down as it was too hard to manage while travelling.
Technical Sales Consultant @ RPC Data
I was recruited for a rigorous six month bootcamp then three months of Oracle training in Zimbabwe and later advanced web design at UCT. My responsibilities included building technical demos, prototypes and more.
