Top SchoolDenis Mckaigue is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with 11 years of experience building full-stack web applications and algorithms at the intersection of Java/Kotlin backends and React/Redux frontends.

Trained in theoretical physics (BSc and MSc, Imperial College London), he brings a strong mathematical mindset to algorithm design, graph-based toolpath planning, and systems architecture. Denis has a track record of turning research-grade ideas into product-ready systems—evident in work that enabled the Cloud Pergola installation—and is comfortable across electronics, CAD and embedded software as well as cloud services. He combines startup agility from Entrepreneur First and Ai Build with large-scale engineering practices learned at Google, making him effective at both prototyping novel features and scaling robust services.
