Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Jones is a Software Architect based in Sheffield with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and modernizing .NET applications, particularly using C#, WinForms and WPF. He progressed through engineering roles at multiple firms to a senior architect position at Certara, where he blends practical refactoring discipline with system-level design. Alex is attentive to code quality and technical debt—evidenced by open-source contributions that removed deprecated methods and upgraded solutions to .NET 4.6.1 for a popular Path of Exile tooling repo—while also shipping user-focused features like complex reporting and update/installation systems earlier in his career. A BSc (Hons) software engineer from Liverpool John Moores, he pairs strong Windows desktop expertise with a developer’s curiosity (and a penchant for bouldering) that informs pragmatic, maintainable solutions.
