Bio
Hendrik Oosthuizen
This letter is my personal recommendation for Johan Coetzer with whom I have worked for several years at different companies of which the last one was Polysphere . I know Johan from the days when he started as a junior programmer and by working together, I saw he was a fast learner, willing to work and a good communicator, qualities that you do not come across often. I was able to trust Johan in every given task. Besides being a joy to work with, Johan is a self-motivated and driven person who takes pride in his work. He takes charge of any situation and is able to present creative ideas. Johan is a resourceful and creative and completed several projects on time during the time we worked together. He has a great sense of humor that made working with him a joy. I highly recommend Johan for employment. He is a team player and would be a great asset to any organization.

You get charismatic & proficient and then you get Johan Coetzer. I have never known anyone who matches those combined words until I met Johan. During K2's transition to agile, Johan has taken the lead and has single-handedly laid the scrum foundation for our teams. Johan has impeccable knowledge in Agile methodologies, yet he is always learning something new and passing on that knowledge. I have had the honour of working along-side Johan for just over 6 years. I have come to know him as someone who always has time to hear a new idea, help solve a problem or provide Agile coaching both clearly and constructively. It continues to be a pleasure working with him and I truly believe that Johan will prove to be an invaluable asset to any company and team.
