Adriaan Booysen

Software Developer (Senior) Self Employed

South Africa

I am a well seasoned developer with 18 years experience in the industry and have been working on C# since .Net 1 made its debut, which is since 2002 and remember all the hardcore work that needed to be done and has seen how it evolved. I have written multitudes of solutions in .Net for many customers and always learn something new.

Needles to say, my repertoire does not start and end with .Net and includes tech knowledge from database, servers, applications across various streams, not just Microsoft technologies.

In the future I will attempt to hand some of my knowledge down to the community, since it has helped me so many times over the years.
