Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Elgar is an SDE-2 at AWS with nine years of software engineering experience, currently building Kotlin/TypeScript services for AWS Supply Chain that enable cross-customer data sharing and sustainability-focused integrations. He has a track record of designing configurable state machines and coordination layers to enable cross-instance collaborations, and has extended his scope to factory data extraction, testing pipelines, and enterprise authentication and UI work. As a co-founder of now-u and an earlier SDE at Unai, he combines startup breadth—cloud ETL, anonymisation, and rules engines—with production-grade systems at scale. Based in Tonbridge, he brings a pragmatically experimental mindset rooted in a Computer Science degree from Bristol and a background tutoring maths and physics, which surfaces in his analytical approach to complex engineering problems.
