Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Lock is a Digital Project Coordinator and former developer with over two decades of hands-on engineering experience and 11 years in roles spanning backend PHP/Symfony and modern front-end frameworks like Vue, Svelte and React. He combines product-focused delivery—API design, serverless deployments, Auth0/Stripe integrations and CI/CD—with organisational strengths in requirements gathering, planning and mentoring technical teams. Chris has a track record of rescuing and reworking legacy systems (from large Symfony and Zend apps to bespoke publishing and backup tools) while also building new products from scratch. Based in Bristol, he balances technical work with creative pursuits—writing, theatre, tabletop gaming and co-creating an LGBTQ+ comic festival—which informs his collaborative, user-centered approach. Notably, he has experience shipping production systems for high-impact clients (eBay, BBC, Financial Times) and experimenting with emerging frameworks and Cloudflare Workers to evaluate future technology choices.
