Think Differently | Deliver ExceptionallyWhile at TNMA, my primary focus revolved around Magento, contributing significantly to the success of DionWired, one of South Africa's major electronic retailers. I played a pivotal role in the website/mobi relaunch in 2013, holding the position of senior developer for both DionWired and Game websites.Having dedicated a substantial amount of time to a single website (DionWired) for about two years, I sought new challenges to broaden my experience and further develop my capabilities.

Beginning as a new developer within the in-house technical team, I quickly became an integral part of ITWeb's internal development, overseeing website, mobile, and app development. Initially contributing to the maintenance of the flagship website's Joomla customization and various major brand websites, I took on additional responsibilities. Over time, I evolved into a trusted right-hand man to the directors, managing internal reporting and optimizing databases across sales, events, management, and technical departments. Progressing within the team, I assumed the role of a senior developer, actively mentoring and assisting younger team members in their growth and development.Reason for leaving: I relocated to Durban due to the imminent arrival of our first child. This proactive move was driven by the anticipation of starting a family and ensuring a strong support system for our new addition, from my wife's family who are based in KZN.

Lenasia OnLine was my own design and development company. It evolved from a freelance/hobby operating from a single PC out of my bedroom, into a small BEEE business with several employees, a plethora of clients and a very lengthy portfolio during its 7 years of operation.We mostly serviced small to medium enterprises - with static html websites in the early days and eventually utilizing CMS's such as WordPress, Joomla, e-Commerce stores, and developing leading brands.The business went from strength to strength and during this time, I served as owner, salesman, designer, developer, trainer and mentor.Reason for leaving: One of my clients, Catgraphics, gave us work on a regular basis. After a good working relationship, they offered me an opportunity to join them on a permanent basis. I accepted the offer as it was quite lucrative and their clients were a larger enterprise than I was used to.
