Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLeigh-ann Gant is a software engineer based in Kirklees with nine years of professional experience and a Makers Academy fellowship that launched her transition into engineering. She brings a strong background in regulatory, customer-facing and quality-assurance roles—skills that translate into meticulous, user-focused code and reliable problem-solving. Since joining the Financial Times in 2018 she has applied best coding practices learned at Makers to deliver pragmatic software solutions. Adaptable and self-motivated, she pivoted careers deliberately after discovering a passion for building rather than designing, and thrives on continual learning in a field she knows she’ll never fully master. Her prior roles resolving complex disputes and performing root-cause analysis give her an unusual edge in debugging and producing clear, maintainable systems.
