Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohn Gresty is a Senior Software Engineer based in Manchester with a decade of hands-on experience building reliable software across startups and scale-ups. He has progressed through engineering roles at Planixs, Zaptic, Snyk and now Northflank, bringing practical expertise in shipping production systems and developer-focused tooling. Known for a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach to code (his LinkedIn summary candidly states "I do the code"), he pairs that mindset with experience at security-conscious Snyk and a cloud-native company like Northflank. He moved his public code presence to Codeberg, suggesting a preference for privacy-respecting or self-hosted collaboration platforms. A University of Manchester computer science graduate, he combines solid academic foundations with decade-long delivery experience and a quietly opinionated stance on where he hosts and shares his work.
