James Burton is a pragmatic engineering leader with over a decade of experience building and scaling software teams and data-driven systems, currently serving as Head of Software Engineering at FNZ Q-Hub in London. He co-founded and served as CTO of FCA-authorised fintech Predictive Black, bringing startup grit and regulatory awareness to enterprise contexts. James combines deep hands-on experience across architecture, databases, infrastructure and team growth with an early-start coding pedigree—he began programming at seven—and a BSc in Computer Science with Cognitive Science from UCL. Equally curious about people, science and making things, he often prototypes ideas through modelling and 3D printing, which informs a practical, interdisciplinary approach to problem solving.
