I originally studied Electrical Engineering at Russel Road College in Port Elizabeth. I was then offered a job as a technical support assistant at E-Scape where I quickly learned their trade and picked up enough knowledge in HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and MySQL to start assisting the owners in large projects, most notable of which was SAM, used by the Kelston Motor Group for their stock administration.After E-Scape closed down I assumed the role as Senior Web Developer at Insite Labs where I continued to grow my skills and was responsible for roll out of many of their larger website projects during my time their. I was also responsible for setting up and maintaining the local Linux development server running Apache, MySQL, PHP and Samba as well as providing hosting and email support for clients.I was then offered a partnership by Riaan Miles from IT Design where I accepted the role as Senior Web Developer, in charge of growing and maintaining all in house services including managing our online and local Linux servers used to host email and web services. My primary responsibility when starting with IT Design was writing and maintaining Webpro, an easy to use and intuitive WYSIWYG CMS tool to help IT Design's clients easily maintain and build their own websites, which has since been enhanced and changed, with one of the latest updates sporting perfect scores with Google Page Speed Insights.Today I continue my role as Partner and Senior Website Developer at IT Design having increased my knowledge and skill in development 10 fold since I started. Some new skills I learned during my time with IT Design include mobile app development and JSON API development, which I use to create web apps that can easily be translated to Mobile apps.Learning new skills and perfecting existing skills is part of my lifestyle and I do this on a daily basis to keep up with development trends and to be a more efficient developer.
