My name is Antonie Potgieter, South African – from Middleburg, Pretoria, Rustenburg, Johannesburg… everywhere really. I was born in 1986. Father of 2 beautiful and influenced children with the potential of reaching amazing heights in this lifetime. I’m a programmer and despise the word “IT” 😀 I enjoy life and just have a passion for systems and software.

We don’t know anything about computers, we just read and write code. It’s mechanical.

Senior systems and full-stack software developer with 17 years+ experience in developing, supporting and maintaining existing and new software products.

Ask me about Unix/Linux, if I don’t know it, teach me 🙂

Self-starter and extremely dedicated person with a passion for the technology and software industry. I enjoy learning new skills as well as perfecting existing ones. In addition to learning I can teach and lead people on various levels.

You can dream a little dream or you can live a little dream.
I’d rather live it, ’cause dreamers always chase but never get it.

My portfolio and resume presents itself with my work and knowledge and a vast range of areas in the software and web industry.
