Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoy Ng is a Senior Backend Developer with over a decade of hands-on experience building mobile-first products and scalable cloud backends, currently leading content engineering at Reach plc. He combines deep mobile expertise (Android, iOS, React Native) with AWS serverless architecture—designing systems that consolidate hundreds of APIs into single GraphQL endpoints and reliably process hundreds of thousands of events per day. As a long-time team lead he mentors engineers, sets coding standards, and has repeatedly taken projects from greenfield architecture to production at scale, including the Mood of the News app and configuration services serving 50+ apps. He also has a track record founding and growing mobile teams and products that attracted acquisition interest, and he pairs practical infrastructure as code skills (CDK/Terraform) with pragmatic front-end state management (Redux Toolkit). Based in Stevenage, he brings a blend of startup grit and enterprise delivery discipline, with a knack for simplifying complex integrations and improving system observability.
