pushed Derivco to embrace mobile before the invent of the iPhone and coined the term SEO Hijack with
the invent of MHub.
With over 20 years experience as a developer and technologist, I am uniquely positioned to not only solve
but also implement the most challenging technical problems.
UX Foundry
EXPERIENCE
Sep 2015 to present
CTO
X&Go and HashDo were born in late 2015 after a early run along the
Umhlanga promenade. A prediction that chat would be adopted by
business and the app would be replaced with a collection of contextually
aware digital actions lead me to resign as an architect of a global IT
leader and convince a business parter to join me in founding UX Foundry.
UX Foundry has grown from an idea to a business with customers across
the globe in other 10 verticals. Our largest implementation is a chat based
healthcare platform for Asia's largest pharmaceutical company.
