Work Experience

Laptop Board Specialist, Data, Web Developer at Hoets and Associates

February 1, 1997 - Present

For more than 25 years I have delivered IT services to businesses, government and private clients in the Eastern Cape. My work spans laptop motherboard repair, data handling and web development, with a strong focus on WordPress-based sites powered by PHP/MySQL. I have built and maintained sites both directly and in partnership with a dynamic media company, serving clients such as Sol Plaatje University, East Cape Government and various architecture and engineering firms. I am comfortable leading projects, liaising with stakeholders, and delivering reliable, high-performance websites and secure data solutions. I also mentor junior developers and continuously seek platforms that improve performance, security and user experience.
