Hi, I’m Gerhard Mostert—a Full Stack Product Engineer with a unique background in film and television production, now blending storytelling, creativity, and technical expertise to craft exceptional user experiences.

I specialize in bringing big ideas to life through rapid prototyping, end-to-end development, and scalable solutions. My approach goes beyond writing code—I collaborate with teams, empathize with users, and align technical execution with business goals. From ideation to deployment, I thrive at the intersection of product strategy and software engineering.

Here’s what I bring to the table:
🎯 Product-Focused Engineering: I design and develop full-stack solutions that solve real-world problems while balancing speed, quality, and scalability.
💡 Cross-Disciplinary Expertise: My diverse background fuels creative problem-solving, allowing me to bridge gaps between technical and non-technical teams effectively.
🚀 Big Picture Thinker: Whether it’s managing agile projects, developing prototypes, or scaling existing platforms, I have the foresight to craft systems that evolve with your needs.

Technically, I’m proficient in Python, JavaScript (React, Node.js), and database management (SQL & NoSQL), with a knack for leveraging AI tools to accelerate development. Creatively, my storytelling roots inspire user-centered solutions and innovation.

For all the African filmmakers out there… 🎬


Recently, Catharina Weinek put together something incredibly valuable.

A 50-page document listing opportunities for African filmmakers, screenwriters, and producers around the world. It includes film and series labs, pitching forums, fellowships, and industry programs that many of us might otherwise never hear about.

Seeing the effort she put into gathering this information inspired me to try and build on it.

So I’m helping turn that document into a curated directory for African Film Opportunities - not behind a paywall!
👉  https://lnkd.in/dF_hNqpS 

A space where the community can discover and share the latest festivals, co-production markets, labs, fellowships, and pitch forums available to African storytellers.

The real goal is simple: make it a community effort.

No single person can keep track of everything happening across the industry, but together we can. If we all share what we hear about, a lab, a festival, a funding call, a pitch market. Then we create a network of knowledge that helps everyone move forward.

There’s more than enough sunshine for all of us 🌞 

 Let’s be each other’s eyes and ears on the ground and keep opening doors for the next storyteller. 🌍✨
