Top SchoolJames Nixon is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years’ experience designing and operating scalable, event-driven backend platforms using TypeScript/Node on AWS and GCP. He routinely takes ownership from design through production support, having led large migrations (2M+ records) via the Strangler pattern and built recommendation pipelines over 9M+ data points. He specialises in converting synchronous workflows into reliable async systems (EventBridge/SQS/RabbitMQ) that dramatically cut latency and improve observability, and runs infra-as-code with Terraform on Kubernetes. Comfortable hiring and mentoring, he has scaled platforms to 100k+ users and repeatedly turned user feedback and production signals into measurable product improvements. Based in Stockport, UK, he prefers roles that balance engineering fundamentals with pragmatic delivery and clear communication.
