About Me

Hi, I’m Christopher — a technology-focused project professional with a background in delivering digital systems and implementing technology solutions. I previously worked as a Project Manager at Kappture, where I managed the rollout and implementation of point-of-sale systems for major venues and clients, coordinating technical teams and stakeholders to deliver complex projects successfully.

Alongside my professional work, I have a strong passion for engineering and hands-on problem solving, having spent years repairing machinery on a smallholding, fixing and breaking cars for parts, and working on practical mechanical projects. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of technology, engineering, and business — and enjoy turning ideas into practical, working solutions.
