Senior🎓
Top SchoolKobus Van Schoor is a Senior Software Engineer and tech lead based in Pretoria with 11 years of experience building reliable, production-grade systems across edge, cloud and on-prem infrastructure. He has led edge-data initiatives at DataProphet, refactoring real-time computation platforms and hardening CI/CD and release processes to stream factory data to the cloud. Prior roles blend DevOps and development—designing an automated container vulnerability scanner and an AWS deployment tool at Momentum Investments, and architecting central authentication, auto-marking systems and an HPC cluster at the University of Pretoria. Kobus brings a systems-first mindset: comfortable from Linux administration and Terraform-driven deployments to full-stack application delivery, and experienced in taking small teams from legacy to maintainable, auditable platforms. Notably, he pairs hands-on coding with operational ownership, often owning both tooling and the processes that keep it reliable.
