antoine van gelder

I am a computer programmer who has spent over fifteen years developing software in startup, corporate and open source environments.

I've written code for all kinds of system including micro-controllers, embedded routers, personal computers and supercomputer clusters using tools such as c, c++, java, c#, sql, python, javascript, html/css, lua, lisp and haskell.

I help ship new software for windows, mac, all flavors of unix and the web in domains such as internet, education, bioinformatics and corporate information systems.

Over the years I have found my happy place working with other focused and supportive people building v1.0 of an application that makes our world a better place.

I live in Cape Town, South Africa with my best friend Gaelin and our two children, Micaela and Alex.
