Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Kirby is a Senior Developer and DevOps Engineer with 13 years’ experience delivering backend systems and cloud infrastructure across UK-based agencies and clients. He blends hands-on PHP/Node.js/TypeScript backend work (Laravel, Symfony, MySQL/Postgres) with platform engineering using AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker and IaC tools like Ansible and Terraform to reduce deployment times and operational costs. Equally comfortable leading small teams or micro-optimising services, he has a track record of turning client requirements into pragmatic, production-ready solutions. Currently splitting his time between consultancy at Kan Agency and a senior role at JammJar, he is also available for freelance engagements through his portfolio. A BSc graduate in Web Technology, he pairs long-term practical experience with a knack for squeezing efficiency out of infrastructure that often goes unnoticed until it saves the month’s budget.
