Hi, I`m Jan Claasen, a software engineer based in Dunedin, New Zealand. Originally from South Africa, I have a passion for web development and a love for the outdoors. When I`m not coding, you can find me fishing or capturing the beauty of the world through photography. With a drive for innovation and a commitment to delivering high-quality software solutions, I`m dedicated to making a positive impact in the tech industry.
