El Tigre Taljaard

With 6 years of experience as a software developer, I am a highly motivated individual passionate about bringing systems to life. My educational background includes a triple major IT degree in Informatics, Information Science, and Computer Science, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in technology. I have a proven track record of detecting and solving problems under pressure, making me an asset to any team.

In my previous roles, I have developed scalable backends utilizing Apache Kafka and Apache Flink, and I have been involved in multi-datacenter implementations that process millions of transactions daily. My experience spans various industries, including telecommunications and banking, where I have successfully wrapped Flink-based solutions around legacy systems to enhance performance and reliability. I am eager to take on new challenges and grow my skills further.

Currently, I am working as a Full Stack Product Developer and Entrepreneur, where I am developing a Geographical Search-Engine-Based CMS platform. This role has allowed me to gain valuable experience in front-end applications and user experience, as well as modeling complex data requirements. I am looking for opportunities that leverage my systems thinking and data skills in a business application context.
