Originally from Cape Town, Herschel’s journey with tech began hands-on and full throttle. He spent over a decade as an IT field technician for the South African traffic department.
From there, he stepped up as head of RFID label programming, then moved into tech support and eventually managed a branch dealing with automotive diagnostic gear. Safe to say, if it plugs in or needs fixing, Herschel’s your guy.
He’s got a solid set of qualifications too, from CompTIA A+ to Microsoft Azure and Active Directory. His strengths lie in troubleshooting, Windows configuration, setting up LAN and WiFi, and hardware repairs. But don’t box him in – Herschel’s also mechanically minded and loves getting under the bonnet of a car.
Outside of work, you’ll find him spinning tracks as an award-winning DJ, printing his next 3D creation, or jamming on the PlayStation. His all-time favourite movie? 1987’s Robocop. He sums himself up in three words: fun, analytical, and realist. Pretty fitting for someone born before social media was a thing, but still thriving in the digital age.
