My Story

I completed a Diploma in Information Technology (Programming) through Varsity College in 2002.

In 2003 I started developing software for a Medical Aid organisation using Borland Delphi 7. In 2007 I moved to the .NET framework and started developing software for a Debt Collection company using C#. I am currently working for a Local Government organisation.

I have also gained a wealth of experience in Microsoft SQL Server and Reporting Services.

I am always interested in learning new languages. I recently developed a love for PHP. I already understand the fundamentals of MySQL, but I aim to go more in depth with it over the next couple of months.
