Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarl Hulme is a pragmatic CTO and full-stack designer/developer with 20+ years of engineering experience and a decade in senior technology leadership, currently leading product and platform work from Bournemouth. He specializes in Node.js, React and .NET ecosystems and has a track record of architecting microservice-driven SaaS products, device-cloud integrations and resilient Azure deployments. Karl pairs hands-on delivery—coding backends, frontends and mobile apps—with hiring and running distributed teams across Europe, steering projects from requirements through CI/CD and live rollouts. Notable outcomes include a zero-downtime staged deployment for a complex LOB-to-SaaS migration, an IoT energy-monitoring product with embedded firmware and remote update capability, and commercial exits via acquisition. A strong advocate of SOLID/DRY/functional principles and TDD, he blends pragmatic engineering discipline with stakeholder-facing product sensibility. Outside work he’s deliberately taken career breaks to mentor startups and prototype new ideas, demonstrating a bias toward long-term team and product sustainability.
