Top SchoolJamie Brynes is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with 10 years of experience building scalable systems and developer-facing tooling across startups and engineering-heavy firms.

He is a pragmatic full-stack engineer who ports and modernizes codebases (notably migrating an Obsidian–Todoist plugin to TypeScript), adds UX-focused features like auto-refresh and configurable rendering, and iterates on developer workflows. Jamie pairs an Oxford MEng with hands-on experience creating code generators, simulators, and GDK tooling, reflecting a blend of low-level systems thinking and polish on user-facing integrations. Colleagues describe him as someone who bridges rigorous engineering with practical product improvements that users actually notice.
