Hello World
I was born at the Kingsbury Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa on the 12/08/1994. My parents, Melanie and Samuel, named me Adam as I was their first and only child. They sat back while the rest of the world smiled.
Introducing: Adam Casper.
1994
2001
Genius In Training
My school career started at Herzlia Highlands Primary School in Vredehoek, Cape Town.
2008
The Geek Got Glasses
A life time of screen time saw the demise of my blue/green eyes. Glasses and contact lenses were rapidly on the rise.
2009
O Captain! My Captain!
I was voted captain of the Middle School’s Cricket Team. For 2 seasons we reigned supreme.
2010
Why So Serious?
No more fun and games as High School meant changing lanes. I chose Economics, IT and Physics as my electives. English, Afrikaans, Jewish Studies, Life Orientation and higher grade Maths was expected.
2010
Going For Gold
I competed at the Eskom Provincial Science Expo in Pretoria after receiving a gold medal at the regional round. I created a sensor system in the batsman’s crease used for run out decisions to conclusively determine whether the batsman was in or out. This served as an alternative to the 3rd umpire review system which remains in doubt.
2011
Green Machine
Hug a tree because I was elected head of the Environment Committee.
2012
Matric, Tick
In the end, I matriculated with only 1 distinction. I was devastated and thought it was fiction.
2013
Rejected
Despite a comfortable Bachelors Pass, my Grade 12 marks weren’t on par for UCT class.
2013
Accepted
Everything does happen for a reason. Despite my UCT disappointment, I started studying a B-Com Finance degree at Varsity College in Rondebosch, Cape Town. With some free time on my side, I began searching for my first job, far and wide.
2013
Adam And Steve
It was love at first iSight. Adam’s Apple experience began at The iStore, V&A Waterfront, as a part time sales consultant. It didn’t take too long to become the leading part time sales person (and even exceeded some of the full time staff’s target). Becoming a certified Apple Product Professional was as easy as 1, 2, Siri.
2014
Tech This Out
My troubleshooting tricks earned me a seat at The Genius Bar. With iOS and OS X certifications, my skills shined brighter than any star.
2015
Degree Done
I graduated from Varsity College with Distinction (75% average). My studies were finally in extinction.
2015
Age Restriction
After finishing my degree, I applied to become the head techie. At only 20, management decided it wasn’t the right fit for me. I’d now reached the ceiling and decided to set free. Adam’s Apple fell far from The iStore tree.
2016
Hi-1-1
With a passion for the product and an apparent gap in the market for private Apple Support, saw the birth of my first child, i11. A true apple of my eye.

WHAT’S YOUR iMERGENCY?
2017
1, 2, 300
i11 grew to 300 clients in our first year. Our service offering extended to outsourced I.T. consulting and expertise. We strive to ensure that our client’s changing needs remain at ease.

Meet: Masibulele
Masibulele Educare Centre is a school deemed structurally unsafe for its children yet remains a vital and pivotal place for its students and the community. My friend Olivia started a ‘Buy a Brick’ initiative to help rebuild the school in which I created a crowd funding website and have assisted in event planning and coordinaion to help raise money.
2018
I Spidey Sense Success
I co-founded SpiderDev with my friend Barak from school. We Spin Sites ranging from basic landing pages to Ecommerce stores that rule.
2018
Moving On Up
At 23 I moved out from home in search of what’s next. Just like Nike, Lion’s Headquarters started at my new nest. You should see my custom built desk!
2018
500 not out
And just like that, I raise my bat to the 500 people who have helped put i11 on the map. Now time for an app?
