Summary
Jim C is a senior software engineer based in York with over 7 years of recent professional experience and a decades-long pedigree in Java and C/C++ systems engineering. He has led teams and technical delivery across enterprises, building Spring-based microservices, ETL pipelines and CI/CD workflows deployed to AWS, and most recently contributes to clinical terminology tooling at SNOMED International. Comfortable across the full stack and multiple languages (Java, Python, Groovy, C/C++), he pairs hands-on development with technical leadership—having designed CI pipelines in Jenkins with Groovy DSL and driven TDD and quality tooling adoption. Jim’s background includes high-assurance and real-time systems work earlier in his career, and an uncommon blend of academic curiosity (studies in planetary astronomy) with pragmatic, production-focused engineering.
