About me...

I'm a 25 year-old Journalist and Web Developer currently living in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai where I work as Deputy Editor for a consumer electronics and PC magazine called WINDOWS Middle East. Many of the features, news and comment pieces I've written for this mag appear on ArabianBusiness.com. I've also been a freelance journalist for Johnnic Communications in South Africa and a freelance web desinger and web developer for a number of corporates.

My interest in online media started when I was completing my Journalism degree at the University of Johannesburg. Whilst there, I worked as an online Journalist for the UJ Faculty of Humanities and after doing that for two years, I worked as the faculty's web-master. I've studied Web Design and Web Development through the University of South Africa as well.
