Top SchoolJonathan Sharpe is a seasoned software engineer and delivery lead based in London with over a decade of experience helping public sector, non-profit and commercial clients turn complex domains into reliable products. He combines hands-on XP practices—pair programming, TDD and continuous delivery—with people leadership, having managed and mentored teams through acquisitions and rapid shifts to remote work. His background in transport research and modelling gives him uncommon strength in systems thinking and probabilistic analysis, which he applies to tame legacy codebases and shape product development practices. Jonathan thrives in small, cross-disciplinary teams, focusing on iterative delivery that maximises user value while minimising disruption for vulnerable services. Outside work he’s a guitarist, cyclist and photographer, a reminder that his curiosity and craft extend beyond code.
