The CyberLogic Team

Edge has been involved in the IT services industry since 1996, having previously worked as a consultant in the fields of IT management and IT security. He has also managed the internal IT departments for companies such as Mercantrade (now DataCash PLC). His passion for bringing "good IT" to SMEs prompted him to launch CyberLogic in 2006. Apart from his strong technical background, Edge also holds an MBA from UCT. The big cheese (and with a sense of humour to match), Edge leads CyberLogic from the front - specially in the lunch queue! When not working, he likes to spend his time mountain biking (if business is good) or boxing (if business is bad). He is convinced that the earth is going to drown in discarded packaging any day now.

The head of our Technical Services department, Giancarlo started working at Cyberlogic in 2007 and through hard work and dedication, has shared in the company's success and growth to date. A little less "growth" would have been nice, but he blames winter for the "spare capacity". Giancarlo's career spans 12 years in the industry, specialising in networking technologies and in particular the Microsoft products. He recently obtained his Associate In Management (AIM) qualification from the University of Cape Town. Every little bit counts when managing this lot! ;-)

*~°~♥~°~* Alicetine has represented the warm, fuzzy side of CyberLogic since January 2008 and is responsible for any administrative functions. She understands the dark art of "filing" and can produce a petrol slip from 2006 in under 30 seconds. Alicetine has a heart of gold but can go from Alicetine to Ali-gator very quickly if you get on her wrong side! At home she's a caring mother to six cats, four dogs, a rabbit, a turtle, a boa constrictor and a 12kg bearded dragon (yes, really!) *~~♥~~*

With over 10 years in IT and multiple qualifications including Microsoft Certified Information Technology Professional (MCITP) and Certified SonicWALL Security Administrator (CSSA), Hendri has just the right kind of experience to head up our Network Operations team! After working at some of the largest IT companies in SA (and developing a serious allergy to red tape), he has decided that the SME market is where he wants to be. But there's more to Hendri than just being a technology specialist: he's also the proud winner of the coveted "Movember 2009" moustache-growing contest and a world-renowned handbag expert. Hendri is not afraid to wear pink - but never on Thursdays!

Johannelie joined the CyberLogic Team in March 2011 as an Account Manager, where her natural mothering instinct is used to great effect. She will stop at nothing to ensure that our clients feel well looked after! Aside from a strong sales background, including 9 years in Telecoms, Johannelie is also a certified MLSE - or Microsoft Licensing Sales Expert. Johannelie continues her nurturing role at home, where she is mother to two kids and two dogs. If she had spare time, she says would love to paint, body board or read, but there's more to Johannelie than meets the eye; rumour has it she can't resist a man in lederhosen!

If you ever call our service desk, you're very likely to speak to Elizabeth. She takes more support calls than anyone else in the business! But don't let her friendly, easy-going telephone manner fool you - this girl is 100% geek too! A consummate technophile, Elizabeth loves nothing more than figuring out new technology. If there's a new whatzit coming out for the thingamabob 2.1, she probably knows about it first. Her gift for figuring things out, combined with her Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) and Certified SonicWALL Security Administrator (CSSA) qualifications, make Elizabeth a very effective trouble-shooter! On the odd occasion when she steps away from her computer, Elizabeth can be found out in nature - if it's outdoors, she's keen to give it a try!

Some say he was born in a server cabinet, and that his left thumb print contains the circuit diagram for a Pentium-Z processor. All we know is he's called Marlon...

The "younger brother" in our team, Rafique's outgoing nature makes him very popular with our clients, while his snappy dress code sets him apart in the IT crowd. It isn't just his dress sense that is sharp though. Rafique possesses a rare passion for technology. In fact, he has been known to sing to his computers, soothing them into a relaxed state for maximum performance. Rafique started out in IT at a young age, offering computer repair services from his father's garage, and he still enjoys taking gadgets apart and putting them back together again - give or take a few screws! With certification from Microsoft and Cisco under his patent leather belt, Rafique has come a long way from those garage days, but his passion for IT remains the same. Describing himself as a "Secure Trusted Connection, with uncapped help at your disposal!", Rafique clearly loves what he does. And when he's done with his IT work? He relaxes by playing computer games, particularly the Xbox game Battle Field, where he prefers to play the sniper. Talk about techno-joy!

One of the younger members of the team, Craig joined CyberLogic in 2008. He is an HP Accredited Platform Specialist (HPAPS), Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) and he also holds a Computer Science Diploma. With all of his qualifications and a decade of IT experience under his belt, there isn't a technical problem that he can't solve! He may seem like the sweetest guy you ever met, but don't be deceived...Craig is the quiet, deadly type, with a background that nobody asks questions about! He came to CyberLogic with a black belt in Karate and a reputation in the IT underworld as "The Pacifier", but has since enjoyed a spiritual re-awakening (though we won't hesitate to send him around if you don't pay your bill! ;-) Since he became a man of peace, Craig likes to unwind with hobbies such as golf, tennis, squash and gym. In his own words: I'll keep trying until I find one i am good at! :)

Torr. Desmond Torr. On an under-cover mission from CyberLogic to solve the most sensitive technical challenges, agent Torr lives a covert life of mystery and intrigue. Our files show that he was born in Durban, South Africa, although his parents have not been identified and his staunch support for the Sharks may just be part of an elaborate cover. We do know that, over the last decade, he has received training at an undisclosed location, where he mastered the art of networking and was certified MCSE and then MCITP. His early missions in the field are classified, but we know he specialised in "industrial IT", which leads us to believe that he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, and indeed, our sources tell us that he dismantled and re-assembled his first computer before booting it up. One thing we know for sure is that Mr Torr follows a strict fitness regime, including marathon running and tri-athlons, so don't try to take him on foot...he is considered armed and extremely dangerous!
