// about
Rudie Daubert
Systems analyst, database developer and the person who builds every We{sys} system. Based in Krugersdorp, working in Afrikaans and English.
// the short version
Interested since 1977. Still building.
Rudie's interest in computers started in 1977, when computing was in its infancy. His school wouldn't allow extra computer classes then, so he studied electronic data processing at technikon after school.
He has worked through every generation of business software since, and today builds with AI. Clients get the full package from one person: systems analyst, database administrator, programmer and planner, plus the networks, routers and backups the system runs on.
