Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Hanson is a Senior Developer based in London with 11 years' experience building Java-first trading and pricing systems at IG Group, progressing from graduate engineer to senior developer across OTC pricing and market making teams. He combines a strong grounding in object-oriented design and design patterns with hands-on Linux sysadmin skills—comfortable deploying and tuning services like MySQL, Samba and SSH on Arch-based systems. His background is atypical: a DipHE in Theoretical Physics, nearly a decade as a professional chef, and a BSc in Computer Science, which together give him disciplined problem-solving, creativity in product design and calm under pressure. A lifelong student and pragmatic open-source advocate, he brings broad language exposure (Java, C++, PHP, Python) and a track record of shipping production systems and tooling from internships to large-scale finance platforms.
