Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Mcgowan is a Principal Software Developer with nine years of experience building high-performance, multi-platform user interfaces and real-time systems at bet365. He combines deep front-end expertise (AS3, JavaScript, TypeScript) with backend tooling (Node.js, VB.NET) to deliver responsive, resilient products used 24/7. At bet365 he progressed from interactive media developer to principal, leading teams, mentoring engineers and introducing automated visual regression checks that ensured compatibility across eight years of browser support. Kevin is delivery-focused and comfortable across waterfall and agile lifecycles, with a strong attention to detail driven by performance and availability requirements. Based in Stoke-on-Trent, he thrives on high-pressure, time-sensitive projects and adapts his tooling to fit the environment rather than forcing a preferred stack. An often-overlooked strength is his history of migrating legacy Flash systems to robust HTML5 solutions while preserving cross-browser and backward-compatibility.
