Summary
Paul Mcilwaine is a senior engineering manager with 13 years' experience building and leading teams across frontend and backend systems, currently heading engineering at Qualio. He favors minimal, pragmatic design and TDD-driven quality, pairing hands-on coding skills in JavaScript, Python, Java and a wide range of frameworks with operational know-how in AWS, Ansible and CI/CD tooling. His background spans fast-paced agencies and product companies, delivering data visualizations, automated deployments and API integrations for clients including Thomson Reuters and Dow Jones.
