I obtained a PhD in Data Science in 1999 and spent many years utilizing my skills in direct marketing and credit risk management. I’ve also co-founded and managed several companies. I’m intrigued about all things data-driven and financial, and I especially love combining the two.

I am a developer by trade; an engineer at heart. Always looking for the latest and greatest technology to work with and discover. I have a passion for building, architecture and understanding everything that goes into a solution, and making the solutions work robustly and at large scale.

I have served as a Financial Services Compliance Officer since 2008. For the last ten years I worked as Senior Project Manager for South Africa’s largest Life Assurance company and served as a consultant for other listed South African Insurance companies.

My background is in business and computer science. I contracted as technical project manager and architect for software companies in London and Dublin, then returned to South Africa and founded Jobvine.
