Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEli Coten is a Senior Security Applications Engineer based in London with a decade of hands-on experience building and supporting reliable software and database solutions. He blends security-focused application engineering at Shape Security with deep practical knowledge of full systems lifecycles from his long-running database development role and freelance work for small businesses. Known for pragmatic, language-agnostic problem solving, he delivers creative automation and upgrade mechanisms—such as scriptable update systems and bespoke VBA/web tools—that reduce operational cost and complexity. Comfortable moving between low-level troubleshooting (malware removal, OS repair) and higher-level design, Eli pairs a UCL MSc in Computer Science with a liberal arts BA to approach problems from both technical and human-centered perspectives. Colleagues describe him as an independent learner who consistently converts user feedback into maintainable, efficient solutions.
