Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoss Adamson is a Lead Engineer with 16 years of hands-on experience building full-stack and embedded systems, from WebKit HTML5 engines to cloud-native serverless back ends. He founded and architected Shellfish, a cross-platform CLI and cloud service, implementing TypeScript-based frontends and an AWS Lambda/Postgres backend while integrating Cognito and Algolia. Equally at home in C++, Java/Scala, and modern NodeJS/TypeScript stacks, he combines strong engineering patterns with product-focused creativity informed by a dual degree in Computer Science and Music Composition. A lifelong coder who started building games at age 10, he blends technical rigor with an artistic sensibility—also composing, performing, and working in theater—which informs his emphasis on intuitive, inspiring user experiences. Colleagues rely on him for practical, end-to-end delivery: prototyping, devops-friendly tooling, and production-grade migrations and upgrades.
