Summary
Graham King is a Staff Software Engineer with two decades of experience blending hands-on full‑stack development and agile leadership across finance and retail. He started his career in server‑side Java/JavaEE and has steadily expanded into modern JavaScript stacks (React/Node/TypeScript), cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, OpenShift) and containerisation. Comfortable switching between developer, scrum master and delivery roles, he combines pragmatic engineering with a principled approach to agile practices that favours collaboration and incremental delivery over dogma. He runs his own consultancy, has held senior engineering roles at major firms like RBS, Gousto and Vocalink, and recently joined Psyomics in a senior technical capacity. Known for quickly learning new technologies, he brings both deep systems experience (Spring, databases, testing tooling) and a taste for building production software hands‑on rather than purely managing teams. An unusual background in music (piano) hints at a creative, disciplined problem‑solving style behind his engineering craft.
