Passionate & experienced tech enthusiast

On kevincoder.co.za, I write about my journey as a developer working across Django, Go, and everything in between, from large-scale systems to small, useful tools. Programming has been my passion for about 2 decades now, and I'm still loving it, so I experiment a lot and sometimes write about it.
