Summary
John Cochrane is a software engineer with a decade of experience, six of which have been focused on building and maintaining Time & Attendance and workplace management solutions at North Time & Data. He combines practical AWS expertise (EC2, CloudFormation), SQL-backed database work, and web development with hands-on skills in PHP and VBA to deliver implementations, support, training, and DevOps improvements. A Ulster University software engineering graduate based in Belfast, he’s known for translating complex operational requirements into reliable, auditable systems and for smoothing the customer handoff through training and support. Notably, his depth in T&A systems means he often optimises business processes as much as code, reducing friction across payroll and rostering workflows.
