Miguel dos Santos’s Summary

Starting out as computer technician after 3 years studying IT. During those 2 years doing end-user technical support I found my passion in Web development while doing pet web devlopment projects on the side.
During this time I was also furthering my studies and earning my BTech Degree in Information Technology at Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
I then left my full-time technical support job to persue a career in Web Development. I developed and co-founded iDRIVE.co.za, which won the CPUT National Innovation Competition and gained entry into the VeloCITI Business Acceleration Programme.
I now spend my time doing freelance and contract web development work, exploring the web looking at new technology, trends, and blogging.
