Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Rout is a pragmatic technology leader with 12 years' experience building and scaling web and fintech platforms, currently serving as Director of Technology at Lendesk in Calgary. He combines hands-on full‑stack engineering (C#, .NET, Node, React, Postgres) with team leadership, having led Finmo’s product development from small-team coding to platform architecture and CI/CD. Known for clean, test-driven design and pragmatic microservice architectures, he has deep experience in payments/trading systems and automated deployments. He mentors engineers, reviews architecture, and brings a curious polyglot background (from Java and PHP to Rust and Actionscript) that helps him quickly adopt the right tool for the problem. An engineer at heart, he still codes for fun and focuses on shipping robust systems that improve user workflows in financial services.
