Business Tech Advisor / Developer / Community Builder
I have been developing software web apps / platforms / saas software for the past 15 years.
I have recently taken on roles of being a Business technical advisor for startup companies which involves optimising the tech stack, Quality assuring the systems and processes, and code disciplines.
I am attracted to startup companies (and vice versa) perhaps because of my experience and preference towards the multifaceted skill required.
I have had an interesting background, gleaned a lot of technical experience and achieved a few wins.
I have also built online communities and groups.
Past achievements:
I have created and sold numerous projects to international companies and been part of the action of a few Platforms.
Facebook groups – I built up 6 facebook groups, some which reached 65k members, 40k members, and 10k members. I still run a few of them.
SwipedOn – I worked for swipedon ltd nz as a Senior developer and while I was there, it got acquired for 11 million by smartspace.
Sellshed – This grew to a database of 30,000 members, then pivoted to a software called Dropit which acquired 6mil funding (websoft)
Scripts4Ning – I built scripts4ning which provided my custom built apps to approximately 300 network owners, which served a total of 2 million users across the platform and was sold to ning.com
