Nice To Meet You.

The way we work is different. Unlike most Ai firms that only focus on data science and basically just deliver insight, we’ve stacked our team with data engineering, software engineering,
and data science. User experience is super important to us too. Ultimately, everything we build has end users in mind.

By us putting everything into action, you’re freed up to focus on what’s most important – your business!

Come dine with us, our baristas will guide you on a multisensory journey of the tastiest tech delights.

Creativity and thinking out-the-box are what we do best!
Ding-ding. Your new future is served!

Dries

Tawanda

Cliff

  • Founder & CEO
    Head Barista. Big Enchilada.

    “My vision was born at Ai's earliest days. With my heart in Africa, I see Ai making a huge difference on our continent. Here, modern evolution technologies can bypass infrastructure to really change lives.”

    Filling pivotal leadership positions in tech and helping major South African companies improve their product offerings for more than 15 years, Dries is particularly passionate about unlocking the value where Ai intersects with business problems. Successful Ai implementation is when users have no idea it’s involved in their experience.

    Dries’ hands-on approach helps businesses achieve remarkable, tangible outcomes by closely aligning innovation with their objectives. Often, the impact is creation of new value streams.

    A respected thought-leader in the Ai and machine learning industry, Dries is a tireless advocate for lifelong learning.

    “Ai is why I get up in the morning. The only way to make the impossible possible is to relentlessly chip away at core issues with a learning mindset.”

    Langebaan-based, family man Dries loves nothing more than spending leisure time with his wife and their beloved fur babies.

  • Machine Learning Engineer
    Sioux Chef. Brainiac.

    Compelled by Ai’s potential to positively impact the African continent, Tawanda Ewing is DLC’s resident machine learning engineer.

    “Ai's an opportunity for Africa to leapfrog over numerous hurdles that first world nations faced in their development and for us to compete at the same level in record time.”

    Driven by showing young Africans just how accessible and useful Ai can be for solutions to common problems faced on our continent, he’s a boffin with real heart.

    And when it comes to you, our client, Tawanda is all about educating you beyond misinformation on best-use Ai practices in your workflows and keeping your expectations realistic in terms of what tech can actually do for your business.

    Always an inspiration to our team, Tawanda teaches what he knows, approaching everything refreshingly out-the-box.

    “What sets Deep Learning Café apart is our willingness to walk a journey with you. Our Ai solutions aren’t something we create via checklists, then hand over for you to hope for the best. Our approach is incremental changes that lead to huge game-changing solutions.”

    Tawanda spends his spare time creating thought-provoking video content, mostly using science and engineering to give interesting perspectives on human life. Another passion is teaching science in a way that anyone can understand.

  • Head of Marketing
    Front-of-House barista. Razzler & dazzler

    “Ai’s about working more efficiently and experiencing record-breaking progress in record time.”

    Our man with the golden smile and electric personality, Clifford Ndou revels in having direct impact on the community at large, transferring his Ai knowledge as a mentor.

    With a deep understanding of how time constraints adversely affect your productivity, Cliff is driven by best optimization practices for your business. His refined marketing expertise also assists us in connecting with you in a way that is symbiotic and heartfelt.

    Of his many sterling qualities, loyalty shines brightest and we deeply value his devotion to our team.

    Always up for a game of footie or chilling in the park, you’ll usually find Cliff making the most of his downtime outdoors.

Mark

  • Full Stack Engineer.
    Technophile barista. All-round boffin.

    Inspired by human behaviour and how we do things, Peter Gwaka approaches his craft future-focused.

    “As human beings, we’re on a never ending quest for efficiency and perfection. The complexity of time perpetuates this need to unrelentingly achieve more. Ai offers us endless possibilities, through the aid of machines, to get there.”

    Peter’s ability to demonstrate how Ai can work in your daily life and give you competitive business advantage solves your problem of not having the right tools to automate your manual, mundane processes.

    “I bring ideas to life. And together with Deep Learning Café, build first-of-a-kind products that create result-producing synergy in my client partnerships.”

    As a great outdoors enthusiast, adventure loving Peter enjoys hiking, sightseeing, and game drives.

  • Data Scientist
    Logistics barista. Data whisperer

    With intricate comprehension of Ai’s ability to learn from raw data and provide previously unknown insights, Mark Lange extracts simplicity from complexity to drive efficiency.

    When it comes to our client care, Mark champions Ai and machine learning as the go-to solution to solve all your business problems by maximising data usefulness.

    “No matter how small your business is, Ai will help you evolve and grow.”

    Because of his analytical approach, Mark can take your chaotic store of data, bring it to order, and derive useful insights that empower your business decisions (and boost profitability).

    “In my role I’m exposed to mountains of raw data and complex problems daily. This requires me to learn and improve my skills continuously which is ultimately invaluable because as a firm we’re able to go the extra mile to find value for our clients.”

    Fitness fanatic Mark prioritizes exercise to unwind and enjoys personal programming projects for whatever grabs his interest.
