Summary
Simon Folkerts is a versatile web developer and educator based in New Zealand with nine years of experience bridging multimedia, rapid prototyping and modern full‑stack web development. He currently builds modern web solutions at MoMac and previously taught Level 6 web development at Yoobee Colleges, translating industry practices into practical curricula. His background in CAD/CAM, UAV prototyping, composites and technical animation gives him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective that informs pragmatic front-end and tooling decisions. Comfortable across design, fabrication and code, he moves smoothly between hands‑on prototyping and shipping user-facing web products. He holds multiple distinction diplomas in web development, animation and VFX, and brings an educator’s clarity to developer workflows and documentation. Not obviously, his experience remotely test‑piloting scale UAVs underscores a knack for iterative testing and robust systems thinking.
