Top SchoolDavid Fentem-Jones is a Senior Backend Developer with 12 years’ experience building and maintaining reliable Ruby on Rails systems, currently driving backend work at EdgePetrol. He blends hands-on engineering with strong support and operational instincts from years as a senior support engineer and team lead at FreeAgent, where he owned escalations, tooling and process improvements. An advocate for pragmatic, object-oriented design, he’s the author of Sheldon (a Ruby dotfile manager) and creator of FurAgent, an Elixir app that streamlines invoicing by integrating with FreeAgent—evidence of his knack for shipping practical open-source tools. A First-Class BSc graduate from St Andrews, he pairs technical depth with a customer-first mindset and an unusual background in mental health first aid, which informs his collaborative, people-focused approach to engineering.
