Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Clifford is a Director of Engineering with 11 years of hands-on experience building SaaS platforms, eCommerce sites and data-heavy integrations while leading multidisciplinary teams. At FoodCloud he progressed from software engineer to director, helping scale a tech platform that facilitates millions of meals redistributed and supports thousands of donors across Ireland and the UK. He combines product-led engineering, agile team leadership and systems design expertise—frequently tackling large live data migrations and overnight cutovers (including migrations of 75M+ records).

A maker at heart, James runs freelance work and hobby projects at MadeByCliff.com and applies his passion for sustainability and tech-for-good to every role. Colleagues know him for turning quick sketches into production-ready products while keeping solutions simple, resilient and future-proof.
