Top SchoolPaul Fawkesley is a pragmatic engineer and serial founder with 13 years of hands-on experience building dependable software and consumer-facing products.

His background spans low-level C++ systems at BAE, data engineering and open-source work at ScraperWiki and GOV.UK, and product-led startups like Fluidkeys and Sea Level Research where user research turned into daily-used operational tooling.
