Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJay Valentine is a Product Architect with a decade of experience building rapid-prototyping tooling for automotive OEMs, combining embedded C/assembly work with desktop C# WPF and C++ development. At ETAS he has progressed from intern to engineering lead, owning design and delivery of product features while regularly presenting technical detail to peers and stakeholders. He mentors junior engineers and leads technical interviews, blending hands-on engineering with people leadership. A hobbyist retro-computer builder who designed a Z80-based system and a basic multitasking OS, Jay brings deep low-level knowledge that informs robust, pragmatic product architecture. Based in Leeds, he is equally comfortable translating customer needs into deliverable software and diving into hardware-adjacent tinkering in his spare time.
