Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoss Mackay is a Lead Engineer based in London with 12 years of hands-on full‑stack experience delivering production software for startups, agencies, and education technology. He specializes in Node.js, React and TypeScript, yet regularly contributes to heterogeneous stacks and enjoys exploring functional languages like Elixir and Clojure. Ross has repeatedly taken prototypes to production—most recently formalising LLM-powered features at Oak National Academy by streaming structured model responses, adding auth, observability and back‑office tooling. Equally comfortable shipping user-facing UI improvements and backend service hardening, he prioritises clean, functional code that solves concrete business problems. As a long-term freelancer and mentor, he pairs rapid iteration with pragmatic architecture to help teams move from concept to reliable, maintainable systems.
