Summary
Dewald Scholtz is an interdisciplinary AI researcher and maker with eight years of experience building end-to-end products from autonomous farm robots to SIEM deployments and lab automation. As founder and lead technologist at RCT and an early technical leader at cybersecurity startup Cybermarks, he combines hands-on prototyping, hardware design and full-stack development to turn vague requirements into surprising, usable solutions. Skilled across Python, C/C++, NodeJS, computer vision frameworks (TensorFlow, OpenCV, YOLO) and cloud/edge deployments, he routinely learns new platforms and integrates them into production. His background in telecom operations gives him a systems-minded approach to reliability and deployment at scale, and he often bridges the gap between research prototypes and customer-ready products.
