Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Pearwin is a Senior Software Engineer based in Bath, UK, with 15 years of experience bridging advanced research and production software. Trained as a physicist (PhD, The University of Manchester), he spent several years at CERN before transitioning into industry roles where he has moved between hands-on engineering and leadership positions, including VP of Software at Mystic AI and engineering roles at Multiverse and DRW. He focuses on thoughtful, well-architected systems—caring about what he builds, why it exists, and how it’s built—and brings scientific rigor to complex engineering problems. Comfortable in high-stakes environments, he has repeatedly scaled prototypes into production and steered cross-functional teams through ambiguity. An understated polymath with a playful GitHub persona (“Softwarer”), he blends deep technical craft with curiosity-driven problem solving.
