Work Background
GetmyboatSoftware Engineer
May. 2022 - Mar. 2025City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South AfricaAs a dedicated Frontend Developer, I played my part in enhancing our company's web application. My contributions included developing new features, implementing performance optimizations, and resolving critical bugs. Some of my key achievements included: Revamped Search Functionality: I worked on the redesign of our search feature, transforming it from a basic location-based search to a comprehensive tool allowing users to filter results by location, date, and and capacity. This also included a filter modal with several other filters on the search page itself to further refine their search. This enhancement significantly improved user experience and streamlined the booking process. Intelligent Pre-populated Inquiries: I developed and successfully implemented a system that pre-populated inquiry forms with data from previous inquiries, saving users time and effort. Recent Searches History: To further enhance user convenience, I created a feature that stored users' recent searches, enabling them to quickly repeat their previous queries. These were just a few examples of how my work contributed to the overall success and user satisfaction of our web application.
homechoiceSoftware Engineer
Mar. 2020 - Mar. 2022City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South AfricaI worked as a frontend developer at Homechoice. Initially, I worked on new features and bug fixes for the main Homechoice website. Most of this work was built with the knockout framework. I was heavily relied on in this team and anytime there was a critical bug that affected customers and revenue, I was called upon to come up with fixes in a short time. I was then put in a special team with 2 backend devs where we were intended to work on proof of concepts for the company as well as maintaining internal tools. In this team, we built a POPI consent management tool, a promotional sales management tool as well as updated 2 existing tools. The majority of this work was frontend development which I lead as the only frontend centred guy in the team.
Playlogix/TrixtaSoftware Engineer
Nov. 2017 - Dec. 2019City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South AfricaI worked as a frontend developer at Playlogix, which later became Trixta. Initially, for Playlogix, I worked on client projects which included: Two React Native apps and a CMS platform built with Angular. One Ionic app. The Playlogix company website in React, with a Node backend. Once the company transitioned into Trixta, I worked with the frontend team building dozens of components. This was built with ReactJS. What I Learned I learned ReactJS, React Native, Redux, and Sagas, as well as good frontend design patterns. I also learned some Solidity, as our Trixta app was related to blockchains and blockchain development. I also gained invaluable intangibles like efficient problem-solving, which I learned from some of the more experienced developers.
B OnlineSoftware Engineer
Nov. 2016 - Sep. 2017City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South AfricaI often worked on our custom WordPress projects, where I built either plugins or themes from scratch, so I was usually writing a lot of PHP. During this time, I learned a great deal and grew significantly as a developer. While most projects were fairly standard WordPress websites, I frequently had the opportunity to implement cool features. For example, I was once tasked with building a watch builder (much like a Nike ID shoe customizer) into an online store for watches. It was my first time working on a feature that utilized the canvas, but it turned out very well. Watch Builder I was tasked with building a website for a new watch company. What they wanted was a unique feature where users could build a customizable watch in the browser and purchase their creation. The rest of the site was a standard WooCommerce WordPress website with some other custom features, such as adding additional straps to a watch on a single product page. Used: JS (incl. jQuery and Easel.js), HTML + CSS, PHP, WordPress API, and WooCommerce API. GS1 I was tasked with building a dashboard plugin. This dashboard was designed to facilitate the purchase and management of barcode licenses. Members purchased a "number bank," which was like a group of barcode numbers. Once they purchased a number bank, they could then purchase licenses for those number banks. The prices of those licenses depended on which month of the year they had been purchased.
