ROB NAGEL

LEAD SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Rob graduated from the University of Stellenbosch with a B.Acc degree, and studied business administration in Hamburg for two years. This stood him in good stead after discovering that his career in Accounting was rather drab compared to the emerging PC market, and he quickly switched to programming. He embraced the advent of the internet, and for the last 2 decades has kept up with web-based applications and technologies. To ensure he never gets bored, he plays harmonica, bass and saxophone in numerous local blues bands, collects and restores vintage pinball machines and guitars, and is a leading authority on the stapeliads, a family of succulent plants.
