Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJake Neal is a senior software engineer and pragmatic technical advisor with 10+ years of hands-on experience helping founder-led SMEs, agencies and non-technical teams make clear rebuild vs rescue decisions across JavaScript/TypeScript, Vue/Nuxt, React/Next, PHP/Laravel and AWS. He combines practical architecture and codebase reviews with delivery oversight—having led multiple greenfield rebuilds, design systems and robust front-end foundations under tight deadlines. Jake is equally comfortable shipping production MVPs and mentoring teams, having introduced testing, CI/CD, design systems and IaC in fast-moving projects. He often acts as fractional CTO or senior technical input for agencies, explicitly focused on preventing wasted months and tens of thousands of pounds on the wrong path. Based in Congleton, UK, he blends contractor agility with long-term engineering standards, and has a track record of turning fragile, expensive platforms into maintainable, fast-to-change systems.
