Brink Van der Merwe
Walter Schulze completed his MSc under my supervision at the end of 2009, focusing on algorithmic music composition using Machine Learning techniques, and received his MSc cum laude from from Stellenbosch University in March 2010. He is a decent programmer, a team player, and the type of person that is willing to stick with a project until the required outcome is achieved. Part of his dissertation was published in a fairly high impact factor journal, IEEE multimedia.

Vastech is a company that develops and sells hardware and software that is used for massive passive surveillance of communication networks. I was part of a team that developed a distributed database from scratch. This database was focused on fast writing of time series data. We developed this all in Go.Among other things I have: - Designed and developed the query language and matching algorithm. - Refactored and redesigned the metadata serialization scheme. - Initiated and developed the company's open source policy. - Redesigned our schema and index configuration from a compile time to run time configurable dependency. - Coordinated a design with the team and developed the update mechanism for metadata in the write fast distributed database. - Developed and lead the intern program. This consisted of more than 20 unique interns over a period of 2 years and a maximum of 12 at one time.
