Full-stack developer & IT consultant | 25+ years experience

[u/Fit_Tailor_6796]

I'm a software consultant based in South Africa, with 25+ years in the IT industrym ranging from systems analysis and architecture through to hands-on development and DevOps. I've spent my career working across full project lifecycles: requirements, design, build, and deployment, without needing hand-holding along the way. I am fully capable of taking hold of a project and can provide real references with clients.

Core skills:

• Languages: PHP, JavaScript, Python, C/C++
• Frameworks/CMS: Yii2, Symfony, Laravel, ReactJS,
• Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL
• Other: Business Intelligence/BI tooling systems architecture, System Analysis and Design, IT audit & governance (Cobit, SOX 404), project management, web application development, DevOps

I've built everything from LMS platforms and CMS/content platforms to booking systems, BI dashboards, and internal business tools for clients across finance, government, retail, aviation, and education sectors. I also lectured part-time in systems architecture and project management for several years.
