Senior🎓
Top SchoolQuinn Daley is a pragmatic software engineering leader and founder with over two decades of experience building and transforming engineering teams and products. As Managing Director of Fish Percolator and former Head of Software Engineering at Citizens Advice, they’ve led large distributed teams, driven a shift to DevOps practices, and delivered measurable cultural and delivery improvements across multiple digital products. Quinn combines deep hands-on technical skills (from Rails apps and cloud/PaaS work to Stripe API integrations) with a coaching-led approach to leadership that improves trust, cohesion and delivery outcomes. They have a track record of shipping product-critical platforms quickly—building a full Rails geospatial management platform in 45 working days—and of rescuing stalled teams into consistent value delivery. A visible trans and autistic leader, Quinn deliberately applies equity, diversity and inclusion lenses to technical decisions and team design, and champions neurodivergent coaching circles that have had life-changing impact. Based in Leeds, they continue to ship open-source work (owner of name.pn and contributor to stripe-ruby-mock) while advising organisations on culture and technical strategy.
