Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Houldsworth is a experienced development manager and architect with over a decade of hands-on C# and .NET experience and a nearly 20-year career in technology. He has progressed from junior developer roles to leading architecture and development teams at firms like Insight Investment and now Clio, blending practical system design with delivery leadership. Adam is comfortable across full-stack and backend domains—reactive and actor-based systems, enterprise WinForms, web apps with TypeScript/Angular, and observability stacks—and advocates for pragmatic DDD, CQRS and TPL/Rx adoption. He favors small cross-skilled teams and lightweight processes (Kanban/feature teams) to maximize productivity, while keeping testability and SOLID principles central. Based in the High Peak, he balances technical curiosity with family life and outdoor pursuits, and often brings ideas from broad reading into pragmatic engineering decisions.
