Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Baldie is a Principal Software Engineer with 11 years of experience specialising in maritime vessel-activity systems and AIS-based products that serve global shipping clients. He led and optimised VesselsValue’s Trade platform—halving memory footprint, scaling to twice-daily updates for 50k ships, and extending support to 20k smaller vessels—while instituting static analysis practices that dramatically reduced runtime errors. Now at Veson Nautical he focuses on vessel activity and Data Lake efforts, training teams and documenting processes to maintain high code quality. With a strong mathematical background (BSc and an ongoing MSc) he combines rigorous analytical thinking with practical engineering for large-scale, real-time data pipelines. Outside engineering he’s an author, having published multiple books and contributed to industry-focused publications, a signal of clear technical communication uncommon in backend engineers. Based in Stoke-on-Trent, he brings a rare mix of domain expertise, performance-first engineering, and team-building experience in a niche but critical sector.
