INTRODUCTION
I am a passionate technology professional dedicated to developing highly functional, intuitive, and visually refined applications tailored to each client's needs. With a strong commitment to code quality and excellence, I take pride in crafting robust software solutions.
I thrive in collaborative environments, bringing both leadership and mentorship skills while contributing to all aspects of software development, from design to maintenance. With a problem-solving mindset and a keen sense of humor, I embrace challenges and persistently work toward successful outcomes.
EXPERIENCE
Albumen.Net
January 2019 - present
Software Architect
Albumen.Net is an opensource class library that I developed which provides developers with a rapid-development tool to create ASP.Net forms and widgets.

It is model-driven, which gives the benefit of creating a whole page without writing one line of HTML. It can generate data-driven (or code driven) forms and widgets, that comply fully with Bootstrap.

This library is easily extensible and growing to be more robust daily. It is being used in a production application hosted by the Provincial Health Data Centre in South Africa and a few prototype projects.
Provincial Health Data Centre (PHDC)
June 2016 - present
Senior Lead Developer
Through Loxsoft, I was contracted out to CIDER (Centre of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology Research), a department at the University of Cape Town.
My responsibilities included maintaining and updating an offline system that was released to over 4000 clinics throughout Africa.

My team went on to develop a web application that significantly supports HIV and TB research and treatment in South Africa. It securely captures encrypted data, generates reports, enables live data import/export, and provides user management. The system also includes extensive medical business logic for seamless use, with a separate API for future reusability.
Loxsoft
July 2015 - present
CEO, Senior Developer, Database Administrator
Loxsoft was registered in July 2015 with the purpose of developing my skillset and the ability to outsource other IT consultants to appropriate placements. Many consultants have benefitted from Loxsoft’s services and expressed their sincere appreciation. Loxsoft has since branched off into the Mobile domain adding new facets to the company.
Provincial Government of the Western Cape (PGWC)
August 2003 - June 2015
Senior Lead Developer
I was part of a small team who developed a statistical obstetric application called CRADLE. My responsibilities included creating a data capture application and a reporting system to interpret said data for the frontend user.

My team and I advanced CRADLE into a Primary Health Care Information System which is currently being used in the Western Cape.

I went on to become Senior Lead Developer and added HIV and TB Treatment to the enterprise, as well as importing and exporting, data capture, appointment creation and service scanning.
Software Futures
February 2003 - July 2003
.Net Developer
Software futures bought Delos Technology. I continued to work on Sanlam's data consolidation application by maintaining, debugging and uploading newer versions, as well as designing and creating standalone applications associated with the main application.
Delos Technology
January 2001 - February 2003
Software Developer
I was employed by Delos Technology where I worked for a year until they contracted me out to Sanlam Head Office where I assisted a team of developers to create a front-end for a Delos back-end application called CMX. The application was designed to organise and consolidate their data.
