Hi, I am Charl, husband to a stunner of a wife and father of 5 awesome kids.

I am an innovative, passionate software developer and speak fluent binary - in multiple dialects .

Currently, my days are spent architecting, designing and developing real-time data delivery and complex event processing systems with a bunch of highly skilled colleagues at Derivco.

I dig Apache Kafka and was one of the first Confluent Certified Developers for Apache Kafka in South Africa.

Ocassionaly I blog about tech and donuts over here: https://charlla.com
