Summary
James Mcmurran is a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead with 11 years of experience building secure, algorithm-driven backend systems and leading distributed teams. He excels at turning messy, legacy financial transaction flows into auditable, automated processes—reducing an end-of-day reconciliation from an hour to ten minutes—and has hands-on expertise with AWS, Docker, Ubuntu, PHP, Python, and MySQL. James combines security stewardship (daily security reviews, encryption-at-rest systems) with practical system operations, running home Ubuntu Docker servers and restoring production systems after failures. He enjoys deep technical dives—published a more efficient PHP SHA256 implementation after exploring Bitcoin hashing—and applies that curiosity to personal IoT projects from automated gardens to Raspberry Pi security cameras. Known as a patient mentor, he runs continuing education groups and cross-border teams, blending hands-on engineering with coaching and process improvement.
