Summary
Dave Ellam is a polyglot full-stack software engineer with nine years of recent experience and a long career history in financial services and media technology. Currently at Equal Experts, he has deep Scala and backend expertise from roles at Bank of America, Capgemini and others, and a strong grounding in legacy systems, Unix and C from earlier banking projects. He excels at bridging complex operations technology and modern cloud-native development, having delivered transaction, settlement and risk-related systems for major banks. Based in Bradford, England, Dave combines pragmatic engineering with an ability to work across the stack—from low-level systems to front-end features—and is comfortable in both consulting and in-house environments. Not obviously visible from his title, he brings decades of institutional knowledge about financial workflows and regulatory requirements that speeds delivery in regulated domains.
