I'm a software developer living in pretty Cape Town, was born and bred in KZN but I've made this beautiful corner of Africa my new home. I work full time as a Software developer but I always mess around with projects on the side, always learning new technologies because in this industry the only thing that is constant is change. I prefer working with MVC frameworks when building large sites/web apps and will only resort to using an out the box CMS (eg. WordPress) if it's a really basic site. For mobile apps I prefer native development over cross platform solutions but I'm open to working .
