Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Arnott is a founder and security researcher with nine years of hands-on software experience, currently leading "Am I Being Pwned" from Stony Stratford. He excels at building high-performance, sharded data systems and developer tooling—having driven migrations from Firestore, optimized monorepos and build caches, and managed MemSQL/Singlestore deployments. James has repeatedly shipped agentic AI features that multiply developer output and built seemingly impossible UIs and automated platforms from a single command. His background spans full-stack product rebuilds, real-time notification systems at scale, and embedded IoT displays, revealing a practical curiosity for diverse technical domains. Notably, he pairs startup grit with rapid iteration habits (and a few production mishaps he fixed fast), showing resilience and a bias toward shipping. He holds a Computer Science degree from Royal Holloway and brings entrepreneurial instincts from founding multiple projects and early-stage engineering roles.
