Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Shanahan is a founder and software engineer with 12 years of experience and a strong mathematics background, currently building WorkWith and Coworking Friends to combat remote-worker isolation. He’s shipped backend systems in Python across startups and enterprises, from real-time pricing models at Playtech to IoT data pipelines at BBOXX and GCP-backed sites for Google clients. Comfortable across systems design, async concurrency and cloud infrastructure, he has practical AWS, Terraform and asyncio experience gained while building concurrent crypto analysis tools and cost‑efficient proxy servers. He also steps into leadership when needed—having led a smart-solar team and mentored junior engineers—and continuously sharpens skills in Docker, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ and GraphQL. Based in London, he blends analytical rigor with product-minded entrepreneurship and describes himself succinctly as a “software philosopher.”
