Hi there,
I am Hein van Vlastuin. I have been in South Africa since 2011. Originally I came as an academic researcher, and I was meant to stay for six months only, but I decided to stay longer. I love South Africa and its people.
I have been working as a website developer for over 15 years. As a young student I started my own website development company, Heinosoft. After running the company for a couple of years, I had the opportunity to sell the company.
In 2015 I decided to start working for myself again. It is my mission to build an innovative company which makes a positive impact in South Africa. I believe that South Africa is well equipped to build a strong IT industry.
Originally I started working by myself, but currently we have employed close to ten developers and designers.

We believe that by job creation, black empowerment & skills development we contribute towards the further development and transformation of South Africa. Besides employing black developers, who also train young IT students. Currently our training program is mostly informal, but we’d like to further develop this program in the future.
