Summary
John Hartley is a Senior Software Developer with nine years of hands-on full-stack experience modernising legacy systems and delivering scalable .NET Core and Azure-based solutions. He has driven teams from failing monoliths to service-oriented, event-driven architectures, led major integrations (notably a company- and client-wide GoCardless upgrade), and played a key role in technical due diligence during an acquisition. Legally blind and having navigated a period of family caregiving, he returns to work with renewed focus and a track record of mentorship, hiring, and incident leadership. An active community contributor, he authored an unofficial GoCardless API client that influenced the official API and has written 300+ StackOverflow answers demonstrating practical problem-solving. Colleagues know him for pragmatic prioritisation, automating brittle processes (such as domain monitoring for 600+ domains), and an ability to turn legacy codebases testable and maintainable.
