George Oastler is a software engineer based in West Suffolk with eight years’ experience building full-stack applications, embedded networks, and ML-driven solutions. He primarily develops in Java but is fluent in Python, JavaScript, C++ and Bash, and routinely applies SQL, APIs and CI/CD to ship reliable software. His work spans research and production — from contributing a Proximity Forest time-series classifier to the sktime project at the Alan Turing Institute to building containerised web apps and React/React Native mobile apps for university and public-sector clients. At Prosopo he is applying distributed infrastructure and smart contracts on Polkadot to real-world human verification problems, while also running small-business and accessibility-focused sites he designed himself. A pragmatic SCRUM coach and tutor, he combines teaching and team leadership with hands-on engineering, and in his spare time documents projects on his blog and explores machine learning and cycling.
