Top SchoolIain Shorter is a senior software engineer with 11 years' experience building high-complexity web and embedded applications, currently contributing to Oxford Nanopore Technologies. He has a track record of delivering performance-critical systems—from a fast Opus audio decoder for memory-constrained mobile games to a realtime cloud bioinformatics platform and a live F1 race tracker—often blending low-level optimization with rich, reactive front-end experiences. Comfortable across JavaScript, Node.js and native mobile integrations, he has repeatedly turned disparate data feeds into responsive visual reporting and DSL-driven stream processors. Based in North Hertfordshire, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a designer’s sensibility (BA in Architecture), which informs his focus on elegant, efficient UIs for complex data.
