Carlin Archer
Web Solution Architect
Carlin brings a deep background in software architecture and development, with experience stretching back to the early days of the web. He takes a best-practice approach to system design, with a strong focus on building solutions that are robust, reliable, and easy to maintain.
Ensuring the technical design and specifications of a digital project are sound is just as important as writing the code itself. Carlin specialises in creating clear, well-considered technical blueprints that provide a solid foundation for development and ensure all stakeholders are aligned before build begins.
Carlin’s development expertise is centred on the open-source Microsoft .NET platform, using C# as the primary language, alongside strong capabilities in JavaScript and SQL Server for transactional data systems.
Outside of work, he enjoys making the most of Christchurch’s many golf courses and is currently learning the finer points of the game.
Vaughan Thompson
Lead Designer
Vaughan is a self-taught designer and front-end coder. Beginning with a keen interest in how websites were built in the late 90s, he published his first site- a popular online directory of New Zealand personal webpages running from 1996 until 1998.
This early experience of designing a solution for a perceived need that was his first foray into User Experience design. As the internet matured into a more visual medium Vaughan's focus turned to the more visual aspect of user interface (webdesign), whilst still maintaining his coding abilities.
Fast forward and after extended stints as digital lead within boutique ad agencies, his skill in design leaked back into the traditional ad world with a number of brand and creative briefs coming his way.
Today it's a perfect fit for Vaughan within Pixlbox.
Lean, agile digital with healthy dose of creative freedom.
