Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Francis is a Senior Product Engineer with 10+ years building and modernising frontend platforms and engineering practices for high-scale organisations. He specialises in transforming complex frontend architectures—driving React migrations, API code generation, observability, and test-strategy overhauls—to reduce complexity, speed delivery, and improve production reliability for platforms serving tens of thousands of customers. Andrew has led cross-team technical roadmaps, rebuilt design-system governance, and nurtured engineering communities to increase participation and delivery maturity. His background spans startups, consulting and enterprise (BBC, Acuris, Snyk, Slalom, Sedex), combining hands-on implementation with strategic architecture and hiring process design. Notably, he translated product requirements into a "paved path" platform approach that enabled independent team delivery and incremental migrations at scale. Based in London, he balances technical leadership with mentoring, a keen interest in performance improvements, and an unexpected focus on improving his 10k time.
