Ian Field is a Full-stack Team Lead with 14 years of experience building and shipping production mobile and web systems, from native Android apps and Kotlin/Swift clients to Ruby on Rails and NodeJS (TypeScript/NestJS) backend microservices. He has led engineering teams to deliver security- and compliance-focused products—introducing Elasticsearch-backed tooling, Kafka event architectures, and Git-based CMSs—while also mentoring peers and formalising practices like ADRs and incident playbooks. Ian has hands-on trusted-media and cryptography experience (GNSS, SafetyNet, hardware-backed keystores) from bringing media-attestation SDKs and trial integrations with major news organisations to market. Comfortable as a remote or office-based leader, he blends product-minded architecture with pragmatic implementation and a history of building systems used by thousands daily. A practical polyglot, he pairs deep mobile expertise with backend scalability work and a knack for turning research drafts (e.g., Content Authenticity Initiative) into shipping features.
