DID YOU KNOW?

The East African term “fundi” (foon dee) refers to a guru or specialist who has extensive skill and knowledge in a particular field.

Hamish Whittal

Founder & Zero'th Fundi

The Founder & Zero'th Fundi....the OG one might say. Hamish has decades of experience in the industry, is a published author on all things Linux, created the Freedom Toaster and is an all round tech fundi.

Amanda Sickafoose

Astronomer & Data Science Fundi

Some say she flew an F16 fighter jet over Nkandla. Some say she was a stow away on Jeff Bezos' flight to space. All we know is she's an Astronomer extraordinaire and data science fundi.

Stephen Hunt

Data Engineering Fundi

An all round Data Engineering guru. Stephen is a master of all things AWS Glue and EMR - if he can't help you with your data lake and engineering needs we don't know who can!

Alex Morton

DevOps Fundi

Alex started working with AWS over a decade ago. He is a DevOps aficionado and will likely bore you to death about the wonders of Terraform if you give him half a chance!

Wilhelm de Lange

Data Engineer

Some say he returned to South Africa from his travels in Asia on a raft of friendly sea turtles......he's just that good at earning trust. Some say he could find gold at the bottom of any lake, but those formed of data are his speciality. All we know is he survived building a data lake at AWS for none other than the EC2 team, has got some mad skills, and is just an all round top fella.
