Kieron graduated from UCT with a BBusSci in Analytics. This degree complements his analytical personality, aiding him seeing a problem and solving it. Outside of this, much of his personality has been shaped by the fantastical stories of his youth, the adventures in Middle Earth being the most prominent.

Quirky thing: After finishing my degree, but before starting to work at Eighty20, I took a one week course in knife making. The course included the making of Damascus steel.

Favourite book: More a series: A Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen – Steven Erikson

Favourite quote: “I am not yet done” – Steven Erikson

What inspires you: Problems to be solved. Stories of compassion. Stories of perseverence against the odds.
