Shiven Pillay Email & Phone Number

20 year old entrepreneur from Johannesburg, South Africa. Growing up in the Gen Z era has allowed me to witness firsthand the rapid pace of technological innovation and the integral role that social media plays in modern society. This exposure has not only shaped my interests and skills, but has also given me a unique perspective on the constantly evolving landscape of digital media and communication.At the age of twelve, I embarked on my first project – an augmented reality game called Sceptre. The game allowed players to scan t-shirts or game cards and have their character come to life and battle against other characters in the quest for valor and in-game points.Two years later, I began learning about web design and branding. Since then, I have created numerous websites for various purposes. My interest in web design sparked my foray into the world of ecommerce at the age of sixteen. I quickly learned about the popular dropshipping model and started several brands including: apparel brands, and online retail stores selling products to all major countries around the world.Along the way, I gained valuable experience in supply chain management, market trends, and the importance of social media and digital marketing leveraging tools to create brand exposure and engagement leading to sales.I started to explore the concept of digital marketing further, which led to me understanding the way search engines work and how to write content that favors the search engine algorithms best.At seventeen, I became interested in decentralized currency(cryptocurrency) and the power of blockchain technology. I created three, Web 3.0 projects that involved deploying smart contracts, minting non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and creating tokenized projects.
