Senior🎓
Top SchoolLéo Gonsalves is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building full-stack platforms, websites, and games, currently at Payflip after a multi-role career spanning startup CTO positions and product teams. He is fluent in TypeScript/React (with a love-hate relationship), C# for Unity, and Python, and has shipped production-grade systems from AI-powered image processing pipelines to clinical-trial supply-chain software. As a co-founder he has architected scalable microservices and geospatial preprocessing backends, and he brought a UX-minded lens to frontend engineering while at N-SIDE. Outside of commercial work he’s an indie game developer who self-taught Unity and is releasing Recolonizer: Tower Defense in 2025, reflecting a persistent drive to prototype and finish creative projects. Based in Worcester with ties to Belgium, he blends entrepreneurial grit with hands-on implementation across the stack and a knack for turning experimental side projects into polished products.
