Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Macfie is a Staff Engineer based in Wellington, New Zealand with 12 years of experience turning ideas into production software, hardware, teams and systems. He moved from hands-on front-end development at Xero to technical leadership and staff-level roles at Sharesies and Runn, blending coding craft with mentorship, hiring and product thinking. James prefers to define requirements, design modular systems, and build cultures as much as modules—aiming for solutions greater than the sum of their parts. He’s comfortable shipping at scale (user-facing apps for large audiences) and has led cross-functional teams from startups to established platforms. A pragmatic builder, he delights in unexpected combos—like writing code that helps brew beer—and treats engineering as continuous creation and refinement.
