Senior🎓
Top SchoolBernie Sumption is an experienced full-stack engineer and iOS database framework developer based in London with a decade of hands-on experience across native Swift, TypeScript, Python, C++ and .NET. He has led technical teams and rebuilt frontends at startups and scale products—from architecting the data grid at ag-Grid to designing warehouse UX at Amara and the deep-work platform at FLOWN. Currently self-employed, he’s building an open-source database product for iOS and macOS, drawing on a long history of systems work that ranges from real-time trading UIs to computer-vision multitouch surfaces. Bernie combines a strong UX sensibility with backend rigor, routinely owning devops, CI/CD and deployment infrastructure as well as product-facing interfaces. He also contributes technical writing to prominent open-source docs like Nextcloud’s, and prefers code hosting on Codeberg over GitHub. Trained in biological sciences at Oxford and holding an MSc in Computer Science from UCL, he brings interdisciplinary thinking to pragmatic engineering.
