Software Engineer at Private Quantitative Fund
City of Edinburgh, Scotland, Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLewis Cowper is a software engineer with 12 years' experience blending data engineering and full‑stack development, currently building data pipelines and a FastAPI + React web app for a private quantitative fund. He brings an uncommon mix of commercialisation and project management experience—having helped found SunSHIFT and secured multi‑million dollar grants for relocatable solar PV—so he pairs product sensibility with engineering rigor. Technically fluent in Python, Java/JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL and AWS, he has shipped production services and contributed to well‑used open‑source projects (adding core stream methods to the highland library). Colleagues rely on his critical thinking, initiative and clear communication to navigate complex, time‑sensitive projects. Based in Edinburgh with a Master’s in Computer Science, he’s as comfortable building statistical models as he is leading cross‑functional delivery.
