Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Nelson is a Principal Software Engineer based in London with 11 years designing and delivering full-stack JavaScript and UI-first products. He blends hands-on front-end expertise (React, TypeScript, ES6+, Redux/MobX, responsive SPA architectures) with back-end Node/PHP and database experience (MySQL, Mongo), plus practical DevOps skills in AWS and Docker. At heycar UK he drives architecture and delivery while previously leading front-end strategy and CI/CD practices across agencies and product teams. Nathan is comfortable bridging design and engineering—partnering with UX to build reusable component systems and optimise performance and Webpack for developer velocity. He pairs a creative background (Photoshop, Affinity, video editing) with a pragmatic focus on testable, maintainable code and has a history shipping greenfield React+TypeScript applications under agile processes. His early work supporting trading systems and ongoing emphasis on build and tooling improvements reveal a developer who values reliability as much as user experience.
