Top SchoolJake Goodwin is a Senior Consultant and pragmatic software engineer with 10 years’ experience building web services primarily in Scala and Play, alongside strong Java, Kotlin and JavaScript skills.

At Opencast he delivers scalable solutions across design, research and business teams while owning incident investigation and operational stability. His background includes enterprise-grade work with Spring Boot, Hibernate, PostgreSQL and CI tooling, and earlier experience at Accenture honed his client-facing and automated testing skills. A Newcastle University computer science graduate with first-class honours, he brings a curiosity for practical security (from an earlier NFC research internship) and a steady focus on continuous improvement in team capability and code quality.
