My name is William Brander. I'm based in Johannesburg, sunny South Africa and work full-time at BBD. I have a MSc in Computer Science and Applied Maths and am currently working towards a PhD in Neural Networks and Swarm technology... assuming I ever settle on a topic.
I've been passionate about IT and programming for almost as long as I can remember. My very first program simply printed the lines to Roald Dahl’s Augustus Gloop poem on the screen. Exciting stuff, but we all have to start somewhere! Since then, I've used my passion for programming to earn spare money, feeding more and more into an unhealthy obsession with problem solving.
My current techno interests are focused on structuring web applications correctly, I'm always striving to improve and looking for ways to do things better.
