Anna Thomas is a Lead Engineer with 12 years of experience building front-end-first products and guiding teams from conception to production, currently driving engineering at Hudl. She has led frontend practices and managed teams at InfoSum, where she combined technical delivery with privacy-focused solutions and championed modern testing pipelines for maintainable, reliable code. At Filament AI and IBM she shipped AI-centered products, data-annotation tooling, and rich visualisations, often in small teams where she owned full feature lifecycles. Anna is also an active open-source contributor to projects like Node-RED—adding MongoDB operations, improving tests, and hardening backend behavior—demonstrating a rare blend of hands-on engineering and process leadership. Based in Winchester, she pairs a First Class Computing degree from Imperial College with a track record of winning hackathons and running design thinking workshops that turn emerging tech into practical client impact.
