Hi, I'm Riekus Grobler.

Creative minimalist developing software

My story

After four years of hands-on technical work building and configuring computers and servers and troubleshooting networks, I discovered a real passion for coding and software development. Today, I’m pursuing a career in software development, building on a strong technical foundation and a passion for learning. Much of what I know has been self-taught, and I’m always looking to sharpen my skills, explore new technologies, and keep growing as a developer.

What I can do for you

Build Reliable Software

I build with the focus on clean, maintainable code and reliable functionality with a strong emphasis on understanding how a system behaves.

Turn Problems Into Solutions

I enjoy taking a technical problem, understanding what is needed, and turning it into a working solution. Being hands-on taught me a practical approach to debugging and building software.

Learn, Adapt & Grow

I bring a strong self-taught foundation and a genuine drive to improve. I’m comfortable learning new technologies and adapting to different environments, with a focus on becoming better.

A few things I'm proud of

“Monit” — a Linux monitoring service

A Linux monitoring service managed by systemd. It monitors your system, logs to /var/log, and sends you detailed system reports.

Server Sentinel

A server health monitor in two parts: a Python agent collecting metrics as JSONL, and a dashboard that reads them back. Built around a plugin architecture.

Webhook Delivery Service

A backend service that queues, retries and tracks outbound webhooks, so a failing endpoint never silently drops an event.
