My Work Experience

Loop

Intermediate Front-End Developer

Sep 2024 - Present

Loop is a leading routing and logistics company in South Africa, partnering with major brands like Checkers Sixty60, Kauai, and Nando's, and facilitating over 3 million deliveries per month. I have quickly adapted to a more collaborative environment, working closely within a larger team. I have gained valuable experience in Agile methodologies, including using Jira for ticketing and sprint-based workflows. A key responsibility of mine thus far has been working on one of their core products, the management console, where I focus on frontend code refactoring and cleanup to improve the development experience and resolve existing issues within the application.

Lancet Laboratories

Software Developer

Jan 2023 - Aug 2024

Coming from my previous role, I transitioned from working independently to collaborating within a team setting, although I remained the sole front-end developer. This allowed me to gain valuable experience working with diverse codebases, ranging from legacy systems to more modern ones. My responsibilities included enhancing functionality, resolving bugs, and ensuring overall system upkeep. Moreover, I had the opportunity to broaden my perspective by understanding how my contributions aligned with broader business objectives, rather than focusing solely on daily tasks. Taking ownership of projects as the sole front-end developer, I closely collaborated with the product team to successfully deliver new features.

IT Genie

Web Developer

Jun 2019 - Dec 2022

As the sole web developer in a small business, I learned to find solutions to various problems and had the opportunity to create websites for different industries. Starting with simple brochure sites, I progressively tackled more advanced web applications with increased features and requirements. This role involved creating, iterating, and maintaining projects, where I learned to build projects from the ground up, continually educating myself on the right tools for each job.
