Raymond Mc Evilly

Senior Software Engineer at Discovery South Africa

As a fellow Software Engineer, I’ve worked alongside Stef for the past three years. Not only has he been a key player on our team, but he’s also become a personal friend. Stef’s skills and leadership qualities would make him an invaluable addition to any development team.

Stef's, seemingly unquenchable thirst for knowledge, keeps him up to date with all the latest developments in software engineering. This plays a huge role in his ability to find solutions to difficult problems our teams faces, and has made him the "point person" that many of us go to with questions.

Working alongside Stef has been enriching, fun and inspiring.

Lwazi Prusent

Senior Software Engineer at FNB

Stef goes above and beyond what is expected of him, equipped with a passion for knowledge and firm understanding of best practices it's no wonder he gained the trust and respect of all of us who worked with him.

Stef started off a Junior but quickly worked his way up to the point where he was the first point of contact with the clients, he was also put in a semi management role and was leading a team of developers some who on paper where more senior than himself.

Once he is on a project he is dedicated to completing it working way past the point required of him. Always the first one in the office and it's a reflection of his work ethic. Stef is without a doubt one of the best developers I have ever worked with and I am sure he will only get even better with time.
