Dirk Strauss

From an early age, Dirk Strauss was interested in discovering how things worked. It is this thirst for knowledge that sparked his interest in software development and technology.

He studied at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University where he wrote software part-time to gain a better understanding of the technology.

Starting his career at a small software development house in Port Elizabeth, he moved on to EOH Applications in 2007. He spent the next 8 years writing software to integrate into SYSPRO. It was during this time that he started blogging frequently to avoid stagnating and to keep on learning.

In 2015 he joined Evolution Software developing responsive web applications. During this time he published two books on C# as well as a few eBooks. In December of 2017, he moved into a Full Stack Developer role with Embrace in the UK.

In 2019 he started a Senior Software Developer role at Tigers. He continues learning and sharing whenever he can. You can find him @DirkStrauss on Twitter.
