James Pamplin is a seasoned CTO and founding engineer with 13 years of experience building full-stack web and mobile products, leading teams, and shaping cloud-native architectures from London. He has repeatedly taken early-stage ventures from concept to delivery—co-founding multiple startups (Lebom, Circular Way, Budee AI, Sellalong) while also driving engineering at established media and financial organisations like the BBC, The Guardian, and Barclaycard. Technically fluent across TypeScript, Node, React/React Native, serverless AWS, Terraform and container platforms, he pairs hands-on development with hiring, mentoring and production-grade operational practices. His background includes leading high-traffic consumer platforms and architecting distributed systems, CI/CD pipelines and microservices for demanding, real-time experiences. Passionate about sustainability, he often aligns product strategy with environmental impact and practical technical debt management. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer-leader who can both code in the stack and translate long-term architecture into shipped product.
