My Career in IT_
I am Anton de Villiers, a full-stack software developer based in Cape Town, South Africa. I specialize in developing web-apps, mobile-apps, headless CMS apps, custom websites, and e-commerce systems for businesses both locally and internationally. I strive to stay up-to-date on the latest technologies and techniques by investing in ongoing education and research. My goal is to deliver high-quality, risk-free solutions to my clients.
I have been working in the IT industry for over 22 years, starting as a computer technician and network engineer before transitioning to software development in 2011. I have a proven track record of successfully delivering complex projects and tasks that others may have turned down. My clients trust me to deliver a working solution every time and appreciate my availability and responsiveness.
I have a strong focus on custom development, and have built a reputation for delivering stable and reliable solutions that save my clients money by minimizing downtime. I am able to quickly understand and work with new technologies, libraries, and APIs thanks to my extensive experience debugging and customizing other developers' code. I am now able to build complete projects on my own, where a small team would have been required in the past.
My toolset includes technologies such as NodeJS, Express, React, Next.js, Redux, JavaScript, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and PHP. I also have experience with DevOps technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, and am skilled in Linux cloud server setup and maintenance.
In addition to my main expertise, I am also a certified WordPress and WooCommerce expert, having worked for WooThemes, the creators of WooCommerce. I have over 10 years of experience working with the WordPress CMS, developing custom plugins and debugging problems. I now also specialize in headless setups, where only the backend of the CMS is used to manage content, users, and other data, which is a cost-effective solution for businesses on a limited budget.
I have the skills and experience to create custom software solutions for businesses of all sizes. From web applications and mobile apps to headless CMS systems and e-commerce platforms, I can develop a solution that fits your specific needs and goals.
With over 22 years of experience in the IT industry, I understand the importance of delivering high-quality work and providing ongoing support. That's why I constantly invest in further studies and research to stay current with the latest technologies and trends.
I specialize in custom-built solutions and have a proven track record of delivering projects on time and within budget. I am dedicated to providing excellent service and am always available to my clients for support and assistance.
I invite you to take a look at my customer reviews to see for yourself the level of service and quality of work that I provide. I am confident that I can deliver a solution that will meet your needs and exceed your expectations. Contact me today to discuss your project and let's work together to bring your vision to life. I will work with you every step of the way to ensure that your project is delivered on time, on budget, and to your complete satisfaction.
