I ran my own web development agency in Cape Town from 2001 - 2016, giving me a diverse skill set combining technical proficiency with leadership, management, and organisational skills.

Game

Rather than listing twenty years of work, I built a career simulator game with some of the highlights. Move the character around to pick up projects, and don’t give him too much free time or his mind will wander.

It never ends, but at least you can turn the sound off.

I’m looking for an employer sponsored work visa for Australia, but I’m also available for freelance work.

“I've employed Jon for his outstanding front-end development skills and excellent communication. This employment has run from our first meeting in 2009 to 2016 and during this time I have recommend him to (and he has worked for) other contacts. The projects he has worked on for me have been varied but include Nestle, Orrick, Vincent and Elkin, Pfizer, EY and Unilever. The types of projects have varied but have strongly focused on utilising Jon’s best-in-class work as a user experience developer specialising in HTML, CSS and JS.” Mark Edgington, Incendiary Blue
