As a notorious stickler for detail, Leon puts his 25 years of professional experience as a systems analyst and quality assurer to use by making sure the rest of the team do not let anything slip through the cracks. When he isn’t looking for bugs, Leon is busy defending his #1 rank at Siyelo Ping-Pong.
Wendy is our trusted, multitasking, calculator-wielding, excel-creating, generally-amazing administrator, who we rely on to ensure everyone at Siyelo is taken care of. Her good sense of humor and calming, zen-like presence mean she's a joy to be around. Except if your invoice is past due...
Our design decisions are always made with the users’ needs in mind. This gives us clarity when making decisions and reminds us of the importance of balancing form and function.
We try keeping the unnecessary cruft out of our business and out of your application. Keeping it simple helps us stay focused on what really matters instead of getting bogged down in the things that don’t. The simple solution is usually faster, cleaner, easier to maintain and easier to understand.
We create an automated suite of tests for every project we do. These tests ensure that a change in one part of the system doesn’t unintentionally break another part. With a full test suite we have the confidence to deliver software that is free of defects.
Another benefit of testing is that we can refactor our code without worry. Refactoring ensures that our code is clean, uncluttered and highly efficient. Most importantly, refactoring increases the quality and maintainability of the software we create.
We do what we love and we have fun doing it. To make it even more fun, we try making our offices unique and interesting. From putt-putt to ping-pong, from graffiti on the walls to rooftop beers, we believe in creating a working environment that isn’t just about work.
