Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJames Inman is a senior software engineer and technical leader with 14+ years building Ruby on Rails products, SaaS, developer tooling and AI integrations while leading teams and board-level strategy. He has founded companies, led tech and product at PE-backed organisations, and currently consults through Otaina while engineering at a healthtech startup and running neurobetter, a charity he built and governs. James blends hands-on delivery—shipping open-source Rails tooling, CMS work and AI workflow integrations—with practical information-security and incident leadership experience across distributed systems. He pairs technical depth (databases, infra, testing) with a rare focus on psychology and neurodiversity, mentoring leaders and designing technology shaped by lived experience. Unusually for an engineer, he’s training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which informs his human-centred approach to product and org problems. Open to work on technology strategy, AI adoption, charity tech and projects that sit at the intersection of people, law and systems.
