Summary
👤
SeniorPiers Beckley is a multidisciplinary professional combining a decade of software engineering experience with a long-running career as a writer, dramaturg and director based in London. He’s helped scale startups (early hire at AudioMob, refactoring an MVP into a post-Series A product) and rebuilt major back-end systems for high-traffic sites like Dezeen, while introducing testing, CI and hiring practices that improved engineering quality. Comfortable in C#/.NET and PHP, he’s delivered microservices for e-commerce and led engineering process improvements across teams. Beyond code, he’s an accomplished playwright and novelist—The Mirrored Castle—and a BBC Drama Writers Academy shortlistee and TAPS delegate, bringing narrative thinking to product design. An unusual strength is his ability to bridge creative storytelling and technical delivery, mentoring engineers while still writing scripts and occasionally walking dogs.
