Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Paterson is a Senior Software Engineer based in Christchurch, New Zealand, with seven years of experience bridging academic mathematics and applied engineering. He progressed from university mathematics tutor to software roles at the University of Canterbury and Seequent, bringing deep numerical intuition to engineering problems in civil and natural resource contexts. Skilled in Python, Java, MATLAB, LaTeX and number theory, he focuses on robust, research-aligned software—especially work connected to QuakeCoRE-style seismic and geoscience tooling. Colleagues rely on him for translating complex mathematical models into maintainable production code and for pragmatic problem-solving across the stack. He holds a PGDipSc in Mathematics and a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science, a combination that informs both his analytical rigor and practical engineering choices. Outside core duties, he quietly blends academic-style reproducibility with industrial software practices to improve team workflows and model traceability.
