Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon De La Court is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with 11 years of professional software experience and a two-decade track record running his own web and media ventures. He blends hands-on development and product consulting with a designer’s sensibility—favoring sustainable, well-analyzed technical solutions over hype-driven choices. At Fish on Fire he scaled mobile app delivery while earlier roles (ABOSS, Yarbot, CT.Studios) show a mix of startup founding, lead development, and long-term operational ownership. His background in photography and media studies gives him a unique ability to close the gap between technical implementation and user-facing storytelling. Colleagues describe him as someone who fixes root causes and builds maintainable products rather than quick patches.
