Senior🎓
Top SchoolJim Sangwine is a seasoned technical lead and coach with nearly two decades of engineering experience and a 15-year track record of leading large-scale software initiatives across fintech, govtech, enterprise and startups. He combines hands-on full‑stack development (React/TypeScript, Kotlin, C#/.NET, cloud architectures) with people leadership—having mentored and managed teams of up to 30 engineers and run multiple “dojos” for architecture, data and testing.

Based in St Helens, UK, he brings a pragmatic, curious style—evidenced by eclectic past projects from WebGL physics demos to blockchain engineering—and a knack for turning ambiguous requirements into robust, production software.
