Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Thorpe is a versatile software engineer with 9 years’ experience building user-focused web applications across full-stack and back-end roles, currently contributing at OVO in Edinburgh. His background in physics and an MSc in Renewable Energy give him a strong analytical foundation that he leverages to design well-tested, maintainable systems and to make data-driven decisions. He rapidly upskilled through CodeClan and has a track record of shipping production releases—from serverless AWS video-processing Lambdas to C# .NET Core backends and React/TypeScript front ends documented in Storybook. Comfortable translating between technical and non-technical stakeholders, he’s delivered prototypes that secured funding and built first-live backend releases in small Agile teams. He also brings practical QA and systems experience from medical imaging test engineering, which informs his disciplined approach to testing and deployment.
