UX specialist, full-stack software engineer and lover of all things web. I hail from sunny South Africa and founded a bespoke software development firm, {type}DEV, with a partner in 2014. We've had the pleasure of servicing clients in the telecommunications, medical, medico-legal, food and drink, agriculture, sport and renewable energy industries.

Appreciating my decade-long background in the Microsoft stack of technologies, I've grown to be fairly technology agnostic and have architected, developed and rolled out projects in .NET, Java and Node.js. I'm busy finalising our in-house Handlr framework - a lightweight web framework that will standardise development of MVC applications across .NET, Java and Node.js. Some key features include:

• Support for REST controllers on the server side
• An easy to use ORM library that can marshal data from most popular data sources
• Easy integration with a complete security platform based on OAuth2 with support for most popular social accounts, as well as a proprietary account
• A full modular UI framework for building responsive applications using only JavaScript and jQuery

It will be released to the open-source community as soon as the first beta release is ready.
