Senior🎓
Top SchoolFabien Townsend is a FullStack Software Engineer with 11 years of experience helping startups scale product and teams, currently contributing at Monzo after senior and staff engineering roles at Penfold and 8th Light. He pairs hands-on delivery across Node.js, Python, Elixir, Rust and Go with pragmatic system design—driving measurable improvements such as 47% faster change lead time and cutting operational transfer time by 59%. Comfortable from greenfield builds to legacy modernisations, he’s led cross-functional projects like full redesigns, feature-flag/A-B testing rollouts, and pension transfer systems that directly supported fundraising and growth. A seasoned mentor and recruiter, he has built and coached engineering teams, run book clubs, and codified engineering practices that sped deployment cycles from half a day to minutes. Tech-agnostic and strong in remote stakeholder communication, he’s proven at quickly picking up new tools and cloud platforms to deliver user-focused, production-quality outcomes. An uncommon detail: he has repeatedly turned high-risk legacy codebases into stable, deployable products that materially improved business metrics and investor confidence.
