Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNeil Clayton is an experienced engineering leader with 11 years in software development, currently heading engineering at Weewoo while running and scaling shinywhitebox, a boutique company focused on Apple platform products. He brings deep expertise in Objective-C and Apple APIs alongside strong Java architecture skills, forged through roles at ThoughtWorks and the Royal Bank of Scotland where he led major credit derivatives system reimplementations. Neil blends product-minded engineering with Agile processes, having taken products from concept to market and expanded customer bases for Mac users. He is comfortable owning end-to-end responsibility—humorously titled "Ruler of all things Shiny"—and thrives in small-team environments where practical design and delivery matter. Based in Porirua, New Zealand, he pairs formal computer science training with hands-on experience in both finance and consumer-facing Apple software. A less obvious strength is his ability to translate complex domain requirements (like credit derivatives) into clean, maintainable platform architectures.
