Wessel Swanepoel

My name is Wessel Swanepoel. I'm a Lifelong Learner, Entrepreneur, Mentor, Software Developer and Cyber Security Consultant with a passion for all things tech - except for printers. I really hate printers...

​

As a security consultant, I spend my days helping clients protect their vulnerables and valuables from cyber baddies and preparing for disaster. I like to pretend I'm a tech superhero, fighting against the evil forces of slow internet, outdated software and administrator accounts secured with "Password.123!". I don my cape (aka my favorite hoodie) and wield my trusty keyboard like a weapon, ready to conquer any tech-related challenge that comes my way.

​

As a software developer, I spend my nights hunched over my computer building software aimed at revolutionizing an industry. It's hard work that requires a steady hand, determination, the occasional cat motivational video and copious amounts of caffein - but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done!

​

I'm always on the lookout for new business ventures, but let me be honest, my ideas are sometimes a little out there. I once tried to pitch a tech startup that would deliver tacos via drone, but apparently, there were some "logistical concerns." Go figure... Despite my occasional harebrained ideas, I'm a firm believer that you never know what will stick until you try it. That's why I'm always open to exploring new business ventures, even if they seem a little unconventional. Of course, not every idea is a winner. But hey, at least I'll have a good story to tell at the next networking event.

​

So if you're looking for a business-minded tech enthusiast who's not afraid to take risks, you've found your match. Just don't be surprised if I show up to the meeting with a taco in hand and a wild idea in mind
