Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWerner Pieterson is a Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building web applications, APIs and GIS/IoT solutions, currently driving engineering work at Luno from Pretoria. He blends hands-on full-stack development with practical SysAdmin, DBA and DevOps expertise—having configured Linux servers, managed MySQL replication and run CI/CD and migration tasks—so he comfortably spans code, infrastructure and operational ownership. A proponent of quality and simplicity inspired by Clean Code and The Pragmatic Programmer, he champions test-driven development and peer code review to deliver maintainable systems. His background includes real-time fleet tracking, location-based services and financial software, and he’s as likely to lead technical design decisions as to roll up his sleeves fixing a production database. Outside work he channels the same endurance and discipline into multi-day mountain-bike stage races and an Ironman 70.3, reflecting a pragmatic, resilient approach to engineering challenges.
