Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Blane is a seasoned Digital Product Developer with three decades of software experience and a decade formally focused on modern web stacks, specialising in translating fragmented stakeholder visions into maintainable, high-performance products. He excels at "deep listening" to surface real user needs, then rapidly architecting flexible systems—recently delivering a national NHS leadership framework engine from concept to mandatory go-live in under four months. Comfortable across databases, PHP/Laravel, Filament and performance-tuned LEMP deployments, he combines hands-on coding with infrastructure tweaks that once achieved millions of pageviews on a tiny VPS. His career spans mission-critical enterprise and public-sector systems, Access-to-SQL migrations and commercial SaaS prototypes, always prioritising human acceptance and iterative feedback. Known for pragmatic problem-solving and an engineer’s tenacity, he often surfaces requirements and UX improvements that stakeholders hadn’t articulated.
