Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolReuben Porter is a software team lead with nine years of full‑stack experience, currently guiding a team at Jisc building education and research platforms with React (TypeScript, Next.js), Node, Postgres (Prisma) and AWS/Terraform. He combines an agile, communication-first leadership style with hands-on delivery—owning CI, testing (Jest), and component-driven UIs (Storybook, Tailwind). His career at Jisc spans roles from early‑career PHP/Symfony and Drupal work to modern TypeScript stacks, giving him a pragmatic appreciation for legacy migration and accessibility. Based in Oxford with a First Class BSc in Computing, he’s comfortable balancing stakeholder collaboration and developer ergonomics to ship maintainable systems. An interesting detail: his background in construction earlier in his career informs a pragmatic, safety‑minded approach to engineering and team processes.
