Top SchoolJames Jansson is a Senior Web Engineer and founder with 11 years of experience building full-stack web platforms, currently split between leading web engineering at Scentre Group and running Fociva, a workplace chat and task management product he developed end-to-end. With a PhD in mathematical modelling of HIV and a background as a mathematics and physics teacher, he brings rigorous analytical thinking to engineering problems and a knack for translating complex models into robust, user-facing systems.
