Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Turner is a Software Engineering Team Lead based in Cardiff with 14 years of experience building and guiding teams on large-scale web platforms at the BBC. He progressed from senior developer roles into principal and acting lead positions, combining hands-on engineering with people leadership and delivery ownership. Early freelance and university roles gave him broad full-stack experience—CMS-driven sites, Rails/Django applications, and front-end JavaScript—so he understands both product-facing UX and backend architecture. He favors pragmatic, user-focused solutions and has a track record of shipping award-winning university portals and complex content migrations. Colleagues describe him as a steady technical coach who moves between coding and strategy without losing sight of operational reliability. He also maintains an independent streak from long freelance practice, preferring clear scope and no unsolicited recruitment approaches.
