Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSeb Sowter is a product-focused engineer with over a decade of professional experience and more than 20 years building web products, specialising in high-performance, data-dense dashboards and interactive experiences. He ships end-to-end features across the stack—UX, React/TypeScript frontends, Next.js APIs, and cloud infrastructure on AWS/GCP—often owning architecture through to release. His recent roles show a knack for complex flows like KYC/payment systems, production game frontends with Phaser/WebGL, and optimising load and runtime performance via service workers and async strategies. He’s delivered reusable component libraries and design-driven implementations (Storybook, Figma collaboration) for trading, video, and high-traffic consumer platforms. Based in London, Seb blends creative tooling and AI experimentation with pragmatic product delivery, having built avatar-led conversational prototypes and media-integrated experiences. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic senior judgement: stabilising early-stage products while keeping developer ergonomics and UX front and centre.
