Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuke Potgieter is a Senior Software Engineer based in Pretoria with over 10 years of experience building robust C++, Java/Android, and DevOps-driven systems for defense and commercial domains. He combines hands-on expertise in cross-platform build environments, databases and scripting (Bash, PowerShell) with practical cloud/DevOps operations he maintained for teams, enabling reliable deployment and incident-tracking solutions. At Saab Grintek and as an independent contractor he delivered command-and-control and mobile tracking software, while at INCOMAR he continues to apply that systems-level perspective. An active contributor to the MXE cross-compilation project, he has resolved complex GCC-related build issues and kept many geospatial and library dependencies up to date—a sign of his focus on long-term maintainability. Trained in Intelligent Industrial Systems (BTech), he brings an engineer’s attention to low-level compatibility and tooling that quietly keeps large projects building and running.
