Leon Coertze / WakCo Portfolio

Creative operator.
Digital builder.
Controlled chaos specialist.

A portfolio of the things that do not fit neatly in one box — websites, security operations, digital humans, animation, game development, laser work, drone visuals, event systems and practical problem solving.

I build things.

I’m Leon Coertze — the person behind WakCo Digital and WakCo Security. My background crosses IT, animation, game development, event operations, websites, field support, security, laser work and digital media.

Basically: if it needs to work in the real world, look good, survive pressure, and not be boring, that is where I usually end up.

Selected work.

A mixed portfolio, because the work is mixed. Digital, physical, operational, visual and occasionally slightly unhinged — in a productive way.

Built different is not a slogan. It is usually the result of refusing to leave the problem alone.

The background.

Not a straight line. More like a skill tree that got out of hand.

IT / Sales

Tech brain, people brain.

Started with practical tech, support, sales and business problem solving — the boring stuff that becomes very useful later.

Creative

Animation, games and digital media.

Moved into animation, game development, digital humans, AR/VR thinking and visual storytelling.

Ops

Security and event operations.

Built calm, people-first security operations for events, gates, festivals, private functions and controlled chaos.

WakCo

Digital + Security + Field Support.

WakCo brings the pieces together: digital builds, security ops, practical support, creative production and real-world delivery.

Auckland visual media project

What I’m good at.

Translating messy ideas into something real. A website. A system. A visual. A character. A field setup. A security plan. A page that actually sounds human.

Good. That is usually the fun stuff. Send it through and we’ll work out what it wants to become.
