Mike Rockétt

Self-taught multidisciplinary web designer and developer crafting innovative solutions that address real-world problems and offer delightful user experiences.

Based in Johannesburg, South Africa

Since 2019, I’ve been building an integrated operations and financial management platform for a home-grown freight-forwarding and customs-clearing company called Megafreight.

My primary tools of the trade are Laravel and Vue.js. In general, am open to using the right tool for the job, and so am open-minded to different framework combinations.

I’ve spent a considerable amount of time learning TypeScript which has – almost unsurprisingly – made me want to learn Rust as well (provided the borrow-checker and I can be friends). At some stage, I’d also like to learn Gleam and Elixir.

Have also been creating developer tooling using V, the most recent of which is an internal project orchestration CLI built around Docker, built to get developers from zero to up and running in less than 10 minutes.

When not doing that, I’m either spending some time away from the screen, making contributions to open-source, or creating random stuff.

If you’d like to get in touch, feel free to drop me an email. Note, though, that I’m not available for freelance work.
