Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJames Woods is a Senior Software Engineer based in Bristol with 11 years of professional experience and a 7+ year track record as a full‑stack developer. He builds developer-facing infrastructure and growth-focused product features, currently working on AI developer experience at Sanity—designing MCP servers, CLI tooling and agent integrations to help AI agents consume structured content at scale. His background spans front-end React/Next.js, backend services in TypeScript and Go, and serverless/event-driven architectures on AWS from roles at LEGO and giffgaff. Comfortable across product and platform, he combines hands‑on delivery (onboarding, conversion experiments, checkout flows) with shaping technical direction. An early contributor to prototype and migration projects in finance and insurance, he brings pragmatic problem solving and a knack for turning research or legacy constraints into usable, scalable systems.
