Summary
John Gibbons is a seasoned software engineer and cofounder with a strong mathematical foundation (MSc, University of Warwick) and nine years of recent industry experience building production systems. He currently drives XSELL Rewards, architecting a Salesforce/APEX-based loyalty and cross-sell platform for financial services while maintaining Nial, a niche web-hosted array language, reflecting a blend of product focus and language/DSL curiosity. His background spans government R&D, telco, retail and startups, with hands-on roles in architecture, solution design, prototyping and cloud-based recommendation engines at Optus.
