Senior🎓
Top SchoolNeil Crow is a pragmatic system architect with 11+ years of professional experience designing resilient software and database solutions across financial services and enterprise environments. Based in London, he blends polyglot development and pragmatic tooling choices with a strong bias for automation, having led integration and back-office settlement projects for banks and large institutions. His background spans hands-on Java, COBOL, J2EE and modern architectures, and he’s comfortable selecting the right language or OSS library for the job rather than following fads. Known for tackling the “fiddly bits” between systems, Neil has repeatedly driven platform migrations, ESB-style integrations and reporting solutions that improve reliability and auditability. An early PC enthusiast who still marvels at modern devices, he brings a deep appreciation for evolving technology paired with practical, production-focused engineering.
