What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in a dynamic company that values innovation and growth, where I can leverage my expertise in front-end development and eCommerce to contribute to digital success.

I am a dedicated and results-driven front-end web developer with a strong passion for creating exceptional digital experiences. Currently, I lead the development and maintenance of multiple eCommerce platforms for JD Group, where I leverage my expertise in HTML5, CSS/SASS, and JavaScript to enhance user experiences and drive online sales.

My journey in web development began over a decade ago, with roles at Tiger House Studios, The Media Factory, and Echo Creative Agency, where I founded and managed a team of developers and designers. I have successfully delivered projects for prominent clients such as Audi, Sanlam, and Nivea, showcasing my ability to manage complex projects and collaborate with diverse teams.

I am also the founder of Officepoint, a tech-focused eCommerce platform, and have developed innovative solutions like a hologram wall for advertising. My commitment to staying updated with the latest technologies and trends ensures that I consistently deliver cutting-edge solutions that meet and exceed client expectations.
