Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFinlay Pearson is a Senior Software Engineer based in Edinburgh with four years' experience building core C++ systems for the ArcGIS Maps SDK at Esri. He progressed from internships and a graduate role into senior engineering, focusing on geometry editing and multiplatform C++ codebases while also shipping Java, Kotlin and Android work earlier in his career. A University of Edinburgh Master of Informatics graduate, he pairs formal CS training with practical testing and tooling experience—having implemented an OpenCV-based image comparison framework during a summer internship. Colleagues would describe him as someone who enjoys deep technical challenges and “getting stuck” into problems until they’re solved. He brings a mix of systems-level C++ craftsmanship and a curiosity for language and platform variety, informed by tutoring experience in functional programming.
