Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Methven is a product-focused technology leader and founder with 11 years’ experience building cloud-native, AI-driven products that bridge hardware and software for retail and enterprise clients. As CTO and Co-Founder of Merlin Cloud he designs camera-tracked, edge-integrated analytics and real-time dashboards that turn in-store behaviour into actionable commercial insights, and as Product Lead at ShiftNest continues to own end-to-end product delivery. Previously as COO and Lead Engineer at &Element he scaled delivery processes, mentored engineering teams, and shipped high-ROI automation and data platforms for global clients. He combines a UX-first background with hands-on expertise in TypeScript, React, Node and ML integrations, enabling pragmatic architecture that balances performance with maintainability. Joe is comfortable both shaping technical roadmaps and diving into core feature development—a founder who still codes and partners directly with brands and hardware vendors to prove concepts in production. Based in Witham, UK, he brings a designer’s eye to product problems and a track record of turning complex, multi‑disciplinary systems into operational solutions.
