Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJames Sherry is a seasoned JavaScript engineer and co-founder who has spent 11 years delivering full-stack web platforms across agencies, enterprise clients and startups from London. As Head of Teaching & Tech at The Jump Digital School he combines hands-on development (React, Vue, Node, Docker, Kubernetes) with curriculum design and mentoring, having previously tutored at General Assembly. He’s built and led projects end-to-end—sometimes as sole developer—across clients such as Lloyds Bank, IBM and ASOS, and is particularly interested in applying his fintech focus to scalable JavaScript stacks. A former Royal Navy Lieutenant, he brings operational discipline and leadership to technical delivery, plus a knack for pragmatic, accessible front-end engineering. Currently available for full-stack roles, he’s known for solid vanilla JS fundamentals and a quietly grumpy but effective approach to problem solving.
