Meet the team behind Hutts Verification
Hutts Verification is created by Java the Hutts, a team of IT students from the University of Pretoria. We are a team that strives to work hard and deliver quality, robust software. Each of our members have been exposed to the world of sofware development and bring a substantial amount of experience. We are not afraid to learn and would love to work on a project that challenges us, and that can be put straight into production.
I have been exposed to the Systems Development Life Cycle since my first year at university. I am a quick learner and I'm passionate about developing robust, user-friendly software.
Ambitious, calculating, focused (with a tinge of dry humour). I spend a large amount of my time trying to improve my skill set and myself as a person, leading to me having held various positions in the past such as a sales person, waiter, research assistant and intern. I am extremely curious about the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Security, and have quite recently also enjoyed working with computer networking.
Calm and patient problem solver, who enjoys a good challenge. Always responsive to guidance and advice and seeking to make the most of my ability. I enjoy experimenting with new technologies and various networking problems. I am someone who collaborates well with others in a team and is always willing to go the extra mile to solve a problem and improve on current solutions. Currently, I enjoy my Networking and Artificial Intelligence courses, and I am determined to further my studies in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Security.
I am a goal driven individual always trying to better myself and the people around me. Well balanced person that enjoys his morning runs. I am a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) completed 70-516 exam. Through Barnton Consulting developed programs for SAB Miller, Premier Foods, Dartcom and RCL Foods. Most importantly I love what I do.
Cool, calm, constant tinkerer and copious coffee drinker. I am constantly on the lookout for new challenges with a willingness to learn novel, strange and wonderful things. I have a passion for computers and, in particular, Computer Networks as well as Artificial Intelligence. Being a BIT student, I have been exposed to the full spectrum of Information Technology, ranging from information science to computer science.
