I am a goal-driven logical thinker with a knack for working with data. I have over 20 years of corporate experience developing, deploying, supporting and management of bespoke software solutions. Since 2010 I was fortunate to be involved in various fintech start-ups in South Africa and beyond. My primary value add is in the design and improving of financial systems. In my various roles as consultant or business owner I have developed a series of tools to design and manage all aspects of such systems, including core databases and integration libraries. My repertoire of data-intensive projects include financial, mining, education, government and agriculture industry sectors. I direct my time on all my projects to focus my various development teams to apply business-by-behaviour principals, by keeping high business agility, and a fail-forward mentality on software design, data and integrations, with a strict focus on business process automation. My focus on automation grants me the liberty to keep growing and pursue more experimental avenues to keep abreast of technology, whist maintaining status quo.
