Bio
Marinus Van Sandwyk
We appointed Jan as programmer to assist with the development of our partitioning, clustering and system management products. As such he was really thrown in at the deep end, being exposed to technologies and coding practices completely foreign to his background. Any lesser individual would have given up, but Jan not only knuckled down, but proved himself to be an utterly committed individual, not shirking his responsibilities. He quickly proved himself to be an even better implimenter of technology who can breach the divide between theory and practice. Jan is results driven and I have no hesitation endorsing him.

Jan is a people person, as such he is an awsome manager and he will go that extra mile for his staff
