Background

About Rigard Kruger

I am a digital native with over 15 years of experience in the digital marketing industry, with exposure and skills in diverse areas of technology, management, business development, and creative direction. I have worked at a senior level in both South Africa and Germany, with touch points across Europe as well as the US. My experience in technology started with simple front-end programming in ActionScript 1.0, moved to sophisticated front-end platforms using many different languages and tools, comprehensive multi-language/multi-platform full-stack development, off-screen digital work and prototyping with microcomputers/processors and physical/digital work, all the way to large-scale technical direction and management across these disciplines. With an array of programming languages to my name, covering both the front- and the backend, extensive experience in server architecture and cloud based solutions, implementations of many APIs and the use of a wide range of 3rd party software toolkits, I have made use of these skills to effectively manage teams and direct many technically complex projects to successful completion, both on and off the screen. I am a dedicated worker, a strategic problem solver, a creative thinker and a charismatic personality. My numerously awarded work has spanned clients such as adidas, Diesel, Reserved, Swisscom, Walkers, Und Gretel, Loom, General Motors, Nestle, Vodacom, Mattel, Lexus, Distell, Standard Bank, SA Tourism, Santam, VISI, Foschini, Astor Group.
