Western Cape, South Africa
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEwald Horn is a versatile software developer with 11 years of experience building pragmatic, budget-conscious solutions for startups and small teams from the Western Cape, South Africa. He is hands-on across systems and stacks—Go, C, Zig, WebAssembly, Rust, Kotlin, SQL and JavaScript feature heavily in his toolkit—and often operates as the lone engineer owning deployment, security and database ops. Ewald prefers technical substance over flashy design, excelling at prototyping to production and stretching limited resources to deliver robust web and mobile applications. His background ranges from native Android graphics and low-level video processing to backend APIs and data migration, reflecting a comfort with both high-level product needs and low-level systems work. A perpetual learner, he regularly upgrades skills via targeted courses (Go, TypeScript, cloud and data topics) and enjoys injecting levity into teams—often in the form of deliberately lame jokes. If you value a pragmatic, tech-agnostic engineer who can shepherd an idea through launch and beyond, he’s the kind of maverick who thrives in that role.

What a smorgasbord of STUFF! Tons of experiments in various languages and frameworks. Kind of chaos, but sorted into directories at least.
