Matthew is a high EQ individual who loves and cares for the customers that make up the iPulse ecosystem, with a personal touch and genuine care for everyone he meets.

Attie Oosthuizen
NATIONAL PROJECTS MANAGER
Attie is a highly experienced, long-time entrepreneur who has found a home within the iPulse family, bringing much needed project management and coordination skills to the team. As the iPulse footprint grows throughout Southern Africa, installations take place daily in the most far-flung corners of the SADEC region, and coordinating the people, stock, tools and travel arrangements requires attention to detail and an unflappable demeanour – two things which Attie thankfully possesses. Bringing on board new clients always comes with its challenges, and Attie steps into the breach to make sure that these are smoothed over before they even occur.

Bryan is a techie at heart with a passion for systems and reporting. Highly qualified on Microsoft Azure, Bryan is core to the iPulse ethos, driving support and testing of all systems - both for internal use and across the IQSuite.cloud portfolio.

Thomas "TJ" Snyman
DESIGN ENGINEER
Easily the smartest guy at iPulse, TJ has a mind that is constantly seeking to expand its knowledge. As the architect of all iPulse hardware, and all its related firmware, TJ is an exceptionally gifted individual who never ceases to amaze people with his "nothing is impossible" attitude, having many times developed solutions and created functionality that was previously deemed impossible to achieve. More at home in binary than English, TJ is none-the-less the star of any show where beer is served as well, and in over a decade of troubleshooting, has never once failed to find and resolve a problem in the field.
