Top SchoolDavid Rowthorn is a Full-Stack Software Engineer with 11 years' experience who blends a PhD in Philosophy with pragmatic engineering to design readable, tested, and long-lived web systems. He has delivered end-to-end productsโfrom Go microservices and AWS/Terraform deployments to TypeScript/React frontends and Cypress acceptance suitesโoften taking sole ownership of frontend or platform responsibilities. At Cambridge Intelligence he architected a greenfield Next.js/React data-visualisation product and devised novel React hook patterns to support parallel desktop and web development. Heโs automated core business processes (including GDPR anonymisation) and built resilient services that handled millions of transactions in production. An active contributor to JupyterLab UI and docs, he cares about developer experience and clear interfaces as much as feature delivery. Based in Cambridge, he seeks roles where engineering teams are empowered to produce well-designed code that makes a real difference to users.
