Over the course of my venture I have worked with multiple technologies from building digital marketing solutions using low code systems to developing full blown web portals. Most of my projects have been short term 6 months to a year. I spent most of my time using: Low code platforms, .Net C#, NodeJS, Xamarin, .Net MAUI, Angular, React and React Native. Database systems I used ranged from MSSQL, MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB and DynamoDB. Being a consultant / freelancer / contractor I have managed quite a few projects, been the lead developer and architect on quite a few projects and operated as a senior software engineer on some of them which provides me with a big knowledge base of the software development lifecycle.
During my time I worked with various companies and industries ranging from local companies in South Africa, Britain, Germany and San Fransisco in the US. This gave me a lot of exposure to different tech stacks, cultures and a wide range of problems to solve.
