Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoanna Walker is a seasoned product engineer and entrepreneur with 14 years of formal industry experience and over two decades of hands-on web design and development expertise. As CEO and Founder of ThinkSentient she blends technical leadership with creative services—building PHP and Node.js applications, designing print and book covers, authoring books, and running marketing and publishing efforts. Her engineering career includes senior and lead roles at Tumblr and Castle Trust, where she drove frontend and backend work, testing strategy, and team delivery across stacks like Laravel, Vue/Angular, MySQL and automated testing frameworks. Based in Reading, England, she pairs practical full-stack craftsmanship with a publisher’s eye for detail and user-facing design, making her equally comfortable shipping APIs or crafting a book jacket. An unconventional strength is her sustained parallel career in writing and publishing, which informs clearer product narratives and marketing-driven engineering decisions.
