London, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Skinner is a principal software engineer based in London with over two decades of front- and back-end experience and a 12-year focused track record in modern web platforms. He excels at taking products from MVP to production and evolving legacy systems using pragmatic mixes of Java, Node.js, TypeScript and front-end frameworks (Angular, some React), along with robust build and test automation. At SeedLegals he’s driven delivery and architecture, and earlier roles show a pattern of owning end-to-end features—from creating modular build systems and SPA front-ends to implementing complex Java back-end search and real-time charting. Comfortable across Agile teams and solo ownership, he blends hands-on coding with mentoring and occasional Scrum Master duties. A theoretical physics graduate, he brings analytical rigor and a history of shifting between enterprise Java, Python data tooling and modern JS stacks to solve practical product problems.
