👋 Hello, I’m Anton Nel
I’m a Senior Software Engineer and Data Engineer based in Belgium, originally from South Africa.
My passion for technology started with a Commodore 64 in 1983, and I have been developing
professional software for more than two decades, specialising in C# and .NET since 2001.
I design and develop custom software solutions, automated trading systems, APIs, integrations,
data-processing solutions and business applications for private and corporate clients.
My focus is on building reliable, scalable and maintainable systems that solve real-world
business problems.
