About

Marlon

I am driven by a passion for software development that will help to enhance how people and businesses work. I am solutions-oriented and believe whole-heartedly in customizing an experience that works for my clients, that will ultimately lead to success. This is underpinned by my belief that it is better to work smarter and not harder, so that technology is a tool to helping people to efficiently manage work. By managing work systems more efficiently, people can have more time to live a balanced life and engage in all their different passions, just like I do.

My passion

Speaking of passions, I am a lover of the outdoors, hiking and travelling to various (sometimes remote) locations. In a nutshell, I love to generally experience nature. I think that nature can be one of the biggest teachers and inspirations for how to do things better (even in the realm of technology and advancement). In engaging with nature, I see how various insects, like ants, work together in systems to have better outcomes. I see how different life forms work together in one ecosystem to form a cohesive and well-run whole. This is the same approach I take to business and to designing systems/solutions for clients. I look at the overall picture to see how each element interconnects to work together. And while it may seem counterintuitive, I believe that nature and technology go together rather than conflict, which is why sustainable systems are so important.

And while I love the great outdoors and the freedom that comes with it, I am conscious that freedom comes with responsibility. We must do all things safely and securely. I am very keen on ensuring that whatever I build or design, it is with security and privacy in mind.

I also believe in self-development and continuous advancement, even as technology itself advances. I am constantly reading, researching and generally finding new ways to properly utilize technology to keep my clients on the cutting edge. As a Toastmaster, I believe that part of development also involves communicating and leading more effectively, and through these skills I am able to have meaningful discussions to help use the advancing technology to bring my clients’ vision to life.
