Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJamie Barton is a developer-experience engineer with 11 years of hands-on web development experience, tracing roots back to FrontPage and Netscape and now building embedded databases and sync systems at Turso and bunny.net. He blends full-stack engineering (Node.js, Go, React, GraphQL, TypeScript) with a focus on documentation, SDKs, tooling and developer-first workflows—having led developer relations teams and rewritten docs at scale. An active open-source contributor, Jamie has improved examples across Express and Hygraph and implemented server-sent events in libSQL, showing attention to both DX and low-level stability. He’s equally comfortable producing tutorials, videos and marketplace integrations as he is refactoring backend servers, and often turns complex distributed or sync problems into approachable developer experiences. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, he combines deep product empathy (shaped by Apple retail roots) with a relentless habit of learning-by-doing and shipping plentiful side projects.
