The partnership

My role

Fractional CTO / Technical Director, on an ongoing retainer.

What was built

I lead Nicole Barlow’s digital platform, which I built: her author website and a full mobile e-reader for her books.

  • The author website (nicole-barlow.com). Nicole’s main site, home to her investigative articles, videos, the NicoleB Show and her books.

  • The publications e-reader (publications.nicole-barlow.com). A full e-reader platform: readers sign up and read her books in a mobile-optimised reader, with PayFast payments and member access control.

Tell me what you’re working on.

Every conversation starts with understanding your business. No pitch, no pressure.
