About

I am passionate about solving problems and applying modern technology to improve business processes and training. I am a specialist in creating solutions using iPads, tablets and Mobile Phones and Devices. It was clear to me at a young age that I wanted to study Computer Science and to join the military. Thankfully I managed to achieve both of these, and have been involved in technology, and a military setting for the majority of my professional life. I have gained considerable experience in training, and am now applying my expertise in IT to this and related areas. With my company Capytech, I want to help companies to use modern hardware and software to either solve problems that they are having, or to make what they do more efficient. We are experts in figuring out businesses can use iPads and smart phones to their full potential. It is often difficult to keep up to date with this fast evolving area, and that’s where we can help. Having a long background in training, we are very well suited to look at your current practices using legacy technology, and adopting it into a modern solution. This will help your students to have a much more engaging experience, and therefore improve the learning experience. We also make products to help companies use these technologies to either improve their processes using the latest generation of mobile devices. In addition to this we also create products to help your marketing and sales team get their message across better. If you’re not sure how you to introduce iPads etc. in your workplace, then we would love to help you. Feel free to email me at damian@capytech.com and I will be very happy to discuss how we can work together.

Capytech metaverse and e-learning

Co-Founder and CEO

Nov 2013Present · 12 yrs 5 mos · Dubai · Hybrid

  • Capytech was founded to create world-class e-learning. Combining many years of experience in military training, as well as a long history of technology development - Capytech is a fusion of these two competencies. Having seen too much-underutilised technology, and poorly designed digital learning, Capytech's goal is to help companies create the best e-learning possible.
  • Being a co-founder of Capytech has been easily the most rewarding, and challenging, professional phase of my life. The learning curve was and is still immense and there is always something new to get on top of. I cannot see myself doing anything else than helping to run this company.
