I worked with Wikus while I was Head of Tech at RunwaySale. Wikus is a kind, and gentle person, with a natural curiosity and an appetite for figuring out how stuff works. In most cases, complex stuff. Wikus helped us with many performance enhancements on our Magento 1 stack. One such project was our Headless Catalog built on ElasticSearch, Redux, and React. Wikus helped us index the entire Magento catalog into ElasticSearch and we were then able to draw catalog data out of ES instead of MySQL. Another project Wikus worked on was Pricing updates for big sale days, such as Black Friday. When Wikus delivered the project, we were able to change prices of all product SKU's (500K) in under 15 minutes. This includes indexing, and cache busting. This meant that, we could change our pricing basically instantly around the website, and in doing so, facility those extreme discounts that our customers loved us for, in mere minutes, without any stress or concern. Wikus is a great person to work with, and I would love to work with him again

In my time at RunwaySale I got the privilege to work with Wikus on their Magento storefront, Wikus Worked on the backend whilst I worked on the frontend, and the biggest task we tackled was using the ElasticSuite data filtered into APIs to be used on the frontend of the store, this allowed us to start using languages like reactJs on the frontend. Wikus was not only up early every morning working hard but was also such a great team player with such a great sense of humour, the number of times we would crack jokes sitting next to each other one would think we were 2 naughty little boys at school. Not to mention we even made a plan to meet up with each other whilst we were on holiday in a different country. Truly a great human
