Summary
Leaf Rogers is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with 11 years of experience building resilient, high-traffic web platforms and internal tools across media and enterprise clients. They have led engineering and management efforts at the Financial Times—shipping a React-based newsletter authoring tool and modernising APIs that supported ~10 million emails per week—and delivered measurable product impact at Crosstide by cutting order lookup time by 85% and collapsing a 17-step workflow into a single screen. Comfortable across the full stack (Node.js, React, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, GraphQL/REST), Leaf blends hands-on coding with technical leadership on JS/TS microservices. Their career shows a consistent focus on shipping practical solutions that improve operational efficiency and user engagement, with an uncommon knack for turning complex legacy workflows into elegant, fast interfaces.
