Adam Noakes is a software engineer with 10 years' experience building performant cross-platform applications, currently working at Meta after a senior engineering role at Sky. He has deep front-end expertise in React and React Native, and strong back-end skills using Node.js, TypeScript and serverless AWS Lambdas, having led a server-side GraphQL layer to aggregate APIs and reduce client load. At Sky he focused on memory and performance optimizations for low-powered smart TV devices (including PS3 and LG certification work), and introduced CI pipelines and testing practices to raise delivery quality. He has experience bridging mobile, TV and native Android players, and has acted as tech lead and scrum master for junior teams. A first-class Computer Science graduate from the University of Southampton, he also built an open Java Card simulation platform for his dissertation, signaling a curiosity for lower-level and tooling work beyond typical web stacks. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic about trade-offs, with a knack for squeezing performance from constrained devices while keeping developer experience sustainable.
