Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobin Zigmond is a Software Engineer with nine years of experience who transitioned into development in his mid-30s and now focuses on front-end engineering, primarily React. With a strong academic background (PhD and Master of Mathematics from Durham) and a Distinction in Full Stack Web Development, he combines rigorous analytical thinking with practical, maintainable code practices. He is passionate about accessibility and usability, ensuring interfaces work well for screenreader and keyboard users as well as sighted mouse users. Curious by nature, he pursues deep technical understanding across languages and paradigms—favoring functional programming and languages like Haskell and Rust while pragmatically working in JavaScript/TypeScript. Known for strong opinions on software practices (static typing, FP over OO) he defends them thoughtfully and enjoys digging into why tools and languages behave the way they do. Based in England and currently at Sage, he balances a developer-first mindset with a commitment to clean, testable front-end code.
