Top SchoolFergus Leahy is a tech lead with 13 years of software engineering experience, currently shaping product and engineering at Outverse from London. He blends research-minded curiosity with practical delivery across web, IoT, robotics and embedded systems, with a particular interest in human-centric travel experiences. Previously he led teams building a traveller-focused direct booking platform, championing Svelte + TypeScript to create maintainable, delightful UIs and adding payment infrastructure like 3DS2 across gateways.
