Greetings! My name is Jan Gabriel Pretorius. I’m a Christ-follower, a dedicated family man, a team player, and a systems designer.
I love learning new things at home and in the workplace. As a professional, I specialize in designing and implementing high-reliability network, software & hardware applications in the Operational Technology (OT) domain.
I’ve worked in the deep mining and FinTech sectors and am currently designing, implementing, and maintaining OT systems in the aviation sector.
As part of my creative expression endeavor, I write about these topics here. Writing is challenging but extremely rewarding as it helps me structure my thoughts clearly and concisely.
I aim to ask the why and how questions to deconstruct technical concepts. There is always a story behind why technology has been built the way it is, and writing about it is my compass to navigate this vast technology landscape we have today.
My posts explore my curiosity regarding systems development, architecture, design, and engineering.
You can also find me online at Medium.com, StackOverflow, GitHub, and LinkedIn.
