Paul Hadfield is a seasoned software developer and team lead with 10+ years of experience architecting and delivering full-stack, cloud-native products for startups and product companies from Worthing, UK. He combines hands-on engineering across React/Next.js, .NET and serverless AWS/Azure platforms with pragmatic leadership—mentoring teams, recruiting juniors, and refocusing delivery processes to boost velocity and quality. Notable work includes improving performance and state strategies at Digital Theatre, rebuilding front-end practices and CI hygiene at CyberOwl, and leading cross-platform app deliveries at Automation Squared. He contributes to open source with focused .NET Core improvements (image validation and robust unit tests) on humanitarian project allReady, demonstrating a commitment to reliable, testable systems. Pragmatic about trade-offs, Paul is as comfortable specifying cloud migration paths and architectures as he is fixing subtle UI re-render bugs or introducing strict TypeScript and testing practices.
