Selected work
The platform work, written up properly.
Backend work photographs badly, so this is written rather than shown — the problem, the constraints, and the decisions I’d defend in an interview.
Track record
- 12+ years
- 50+ websites
- 30+ migrations
- 30+ domains managed
Background
Designer first, developer by choice.
I started as a graphic designer in 2013 and moved into development because I wanted to build the thing, not just draw it. For the last six years I’ve run Digital Stream, the agency I co-founded in Centurion, as director and the developer on every project — Laravel applications, custom WordPress builds, and more recently Next.js work; before that, three and a half years at Idealweb building recruitment software. I’m now looking for a developer role — Laravel or WordPress — where I can go deeper on the engineering instead of spreading thin across thirty client sites.
Client work
Alongside the product work, I’ve shipped 50+ custom WordPress sites for South African businesses and keep them running on infrastructure I administer myself. See the client builds
