Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShawn D'Souza is a senior software leader with 15 years’ experience building and scaling platforms used by hundreds of millions of users. He combines hands-on architecture work with people leadership—having led teams of 20+ and grown frontend guilds from 15 to 40+ engineers while unifying delivery across multiple brands and markets. His strengths span design systems, frontend performance, SSR/SSG, GraphQL adoption, and continuous delivery, with measurable wins like cutting build times by over 40–60% and removing QA bottlenecks through automation. At Belong and Wesfarmers he made technical debt visible and created career frameworks that helped engineers progress, while at SEEK he drove cross-market platform consistency and GraphQL tooling. Currently finishing an MBA at Melbourne Business School, he’s sharpening the link between platform choices and business outcomes rather than moving away from engineering. Based in Melbourne, he blends product-minded technical leadership with a pragmatic focus on delivery and developer productivity.
