Marco is a software engineer who spends most of his time trying to make complex things simple.
He’s interested in designing systems that are well-structured and built to evolve, where code stays understandable over time and doesn’t get in the way of change.
Outside of tech, he enjoys motorsport, diving, and cooking (with mixed results).

Cameron's journey in motorsport is one that began with wide eyes watching the brilliance of Michael Schumacher and hearing the legendary tales of Ayrton Senna and the giants of Le Mans. That early spark has since grown into something far greater — a determined pursuit to bridge the gap from Sim to Real.
That pursuit has already yielded remarkable results. Selected among South Africa's top 10 fastest iRacing drivers to compete in the Four Nations, Cameron played a pivotal role in driving the team to a 3rd place finish, defeating defending champions Australia along the way. Most recently, he was crowned Africa's Fastest F4 Driver at the MSA Africa Sim Racing Festival — an event recognised by both Motorsport South Africa (MSA) and the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile).
But Cameron's impact stretches beyond personal accolades. He has worked closely alongside the sim racing community, helping to elevate a sport that began as a bedroom dream into a legitimate pathway — one where virtual talent gets noticed, real-world opportunities open up, and the line between simulation and reality continues to blur.
The journey from Sim to Real is well underway. And Cameron is just getting started.

My experience spans over 25 years of engineering in the public, financial and telecoms sectors. I am an Agile Fundamentalist and AppSec Snooper. The principles of the agile manifesto form the basis of good practices. It boils down to lots of common sense, small steps, learning along the way, not writing code that nobody will want or need and taking processes and procedures with a pinch of salt.

I want to make security more approachable and more pragmatic, more agile. The only way to deal with a deluge of vulnerabilities, bad practices copied from StackOverflow or hallucinated by an LLM is to bring security together with development.

Recently, I’ve become a head of engineering, where I swapped working with code to working with people. That suits me fine as I’ve bastardised the 80:20 rule: Software engineering is 80% social and only 20% technical.
