Jeandré Mostert
@jeandrmostert
I build secure software and lead technology teams across mobile, cloud, infrastructure, and data.
What I'm looking for
At Freshlinq, I lead the full technology function across platform development, Azure cloud environments, network infrastructure, hardware commissioning, user access, vendor contracts, and supporting systems. I align technology strategy with business goals while modernizing a traditionally offline industry through producer APIs and a mobile app for market-floor operations.
Previously at Nanoteq, I became the technical anchor of the mobile team, leading secure iOS and Android development for an end-to-end encrypted communications application. I maintained shared C code for calling, streaming, and encryption, mentored junior developers, and helped teams deliver reliable, privacy-conscious features.
My engineering background includes embedded aviation instrumentation at Denel Aeronautics and power-grid reporting and automation at Eskom. I work comfortably from embedded C and cryptography through Objective-C, Swift, SQL, backend integration, cloud operations, and technical leadership.
I bring deep ownership, curiosity, and a willingness to challenge decisions that risk quality. I do my best work in trusted, autonomous teams that care about meaningful problems, clear communication, sustainable pace, and robust practical solutions.
