Trainers
Roelof Temmingh studied electronic engineering and has been working in the security industry for 438 years where he has spoken at all the major security conferences (Blackhat, Bluehat, Cansecwest, Defcon, Ekoparty and HiTB among others). In 2008 he started Paterva and is the driving force and buck stopper of everything that is Maltego.
Andrew Macpherson is the operations manager at Paterva. He completed a degree in Information Science (BiS) at the University of Pretoria in 2006 and set out into the world building web apps. This experience gave him an excellent understanding of how they work and opened his eyes as to how they can be leveraged for information. It was during this time that Roelof Temmingh flagged him as someone that would be a valuable asset to Paterva and picked him up in 2007/8. Since then he has been coding transforms, improving the open source intelligence and making tea. He is very passionate about the product and accepts all challenges. Andrew has an unhealthy obsession with information mapping and forensics.
Paul Richards joined the Paterva team back in 2014 as a software-developer and lead of Maltego technical support. Paul has a BSc in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cape a Town and is currently completing MSc. Paul has been involved in writing a lot of the new Maltego transforms and knows the tool inside and out.
