I've always been frustrated by the lack of visibility and mysterious nature of the Storage overview especially when it comes to Developer and System Data.

Hi there! I am currently the Principal JS engineer at a market leader in freight forwarding Sass software. I lead a team there, collaborate with basically all spheres of the company, and spend my time not only building feature work but developing internal tooling for developers and non-developers alike. I am fully remote and have been for a number of years.

I've been developing since 2010, working with SPAs since 2013 and while I currently work in a pure JS role, I have done some full-stack development in the past for a few years, using Rails, which I wouldn't mind to uptake again. Though I spent most of my time working with Ember, I am also open to up-skilling in any of the other framework Vue, React, Svelte etc.

Oh and I've also founded a company.

Location: South Africa

Remote: Preferably

Willing to relocate: No thanks

Technologies: Javascript (Emberjs primarily, but also Node), Scss, Ruby on Rails, Git and all the other usual platforms. Happy to upskill in anything new.

Résumé/CV: Available, please request privately.

Email: [email protected]
