Zurayfa Alexander
Our latest coding talent at the Forge, junior coder Zurayfa offsets her love of code with a creative aspect – exploring graphic design and a love for painting, and drawing whenever she can – balancing her programming and computer tech skills.
André van Rooyen
A gentlemen geek through and through, André’s calm and easy nature underpin his technological expertise in development (a Delphi desktop application guru) and most things computer related. He also has a knack for writing copy that makes you smile, and for making a mean pot of coffee.
Apart from computers, André has a great talent and passion for photography and a deep love for the beauty of the Cape Peninsula, and the False Bay coastline in particular.
