Adriaan (Guru) Lotter CTO

Co-Founders

I Love Gadgets and Technology, I graduated with a technical deploma in Telecommunication and Transmission and spend the last 32 years in this field.

In 1999 i was contracted in the United Kindom, where i worked on various projects for Cable & Wireless and NTL. Some of these projects included the upgrading of the network and telecommunications infrastructure across Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales. In 2003 i returned home and founded Netel Security where I remained as the CEO until 2018.

Since 2019 my sole focus was on the software developing of The Trading Shack, where i currently serve in the role as the CTO.

Additionally over the 32 year period I accredited/Qualified myself in the following fields of Telecommunication (PABX, VOIP, Fibre Optics, Wireless transmissions), Network and switching (cisco, server support, linux), Electronic Security ( Access Control, CCTV, Automation ) and Software Development (PHP, Javascript, HTML, CSS, React ) to name some.

On a more personal note, I’m a passionate Artist, art has been part of my life since i can remember. I specialize in the medium of Oil an Acrylic, and have sold a fair amount of paintings across the globe.

I am also a very keen Martial Artist, I was very active in the sport from 1987 to 2008. My highlight was becoming WTKA Mua-Thai world champion in 2008.

It is my vision to make a diffirence with The Trading Shack, and i hope that what we are developing will be to the benefit of all.
