About Us

Our Story

Like most great ventures, Codeswop originated during a period of rapid change. Having gone through major life changes, Regardt Nel and Dean Harber were both without a permanent home and staying in the same guest house.

Unbeknownst to them, they would both soon become the co-founders of the company, only they didn’t even know each other at the time. A chance meeting between the two, lead to a couple of beers, which lead to the conversation that started it all. They realised that they both shared a strong passion for software development and saw in it a remarkable force—a power unparalleled by any other industry or technology. Software, they believed, was not merely a tool. It was a transformative engine that allowed small teams of people to create solutions capable of scaling globally. It offered the extraordinary ability to reshape the way people lived, worked, and connected with each other.

They started small, working on small web based projects,while settling into the industry. Their open-hearted approach, attention to detail and hard-working attitude soon saw them move on to larger web based projects and Codeswop became the company it is today. Even though we now work on much larger projects and ventures, we have maintained the strategy of using small teams to achieve this. This works well because it maintains a level of intimacy and personal involvement in the project which further enriches the partnership we have created with the client. Over the last couple of years we have refined this even more and a core team has been established.
