Available to hire
Hi, I’m Braam Swiegers. I’m an IT professional with over 13 years of experience spanning hardware support, remote IT assistance, and manual software testing. I’m currently transitioning into software development with a focus on Java and Python, and I pride myself on dependable troubleshooting, clear cross-team communication, and a drive to automate and optimize software processes.
I’m motivated by solving problems and learning new technologies. Outside of work, I enjoy building Java apps, expanding my Python knowledge, riding motorcycles, and gaming. I’m eager to apply my hands-on IT experience to deliver robust software solutions.
