Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJulian De Bhal is a senior software developer with 11+ years of hands-on experience across C/C++, PHP, Perl, SQL and a strong recent focus on JavaScript with React and Node. He has a track record at companies from Nokia and Trolltech to Automattic—where he contributed front-end UI and internationalization to the high-profile wp-calypso WordPress.com codebase—and most recently consults in the Greater Brisbane area. Comfortable across low-level graphics (OpenGL, Qt/QML) and modern web stacks, he blends systems-level performance sensibilities with pragmatic UI engineering. A self-starter and former startup founder, he’s delivered shipping products, demos and CI/test automation, and remains curious about functional languages like Haskell and Clojure. Colleagues rely on him for solving tricky integration and internationalization problems, and he often surfaces practical, under-the-hood fixes that improve long-term maintainability.
