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

I lead a small dev team building a cloud-native freight platform with integrations to key logistics services at Megafreight, a home-grown freight-forwarding and customs-clearing company.

My primary tools of the trade are Laravel and Vue, though I’m open to using the right tool for the job. I’ve spent considerable time with TypeScript, which naturally led me to Rust (assuming the borrow-checker and I can be friends). Gleam and Elixir are also on my list. I’ve also been building developer tooling with V, most recently an internal project orchestration CLI around Docker that gets developers up and running in under 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, drop me an email. Note: I’m not available for freelance work.
