Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Grimshaw is a seasoned full stack engineer with over 14 years of hands-on experience and a 18-year career arc across industries from finance and publishing to energy and payments. He combines deep .NET backend expertise with modern TypeScript/React front-end skills, having built design systems, APIs, and event-driven integrations while leading teams and maturing engineering processes. Simon has a strong DevOps mindset—shipping infrastructure-as-code CI/CD pipelines and driving large cost and performance improvements (eg. >60% cloud cost reduction). As an early frontend hire at startups and a founding engineer at Everfund, he’s equally comfortable scoping product features and translating KPIs into technical priorities. He mentors engineers, runs code katas, and brings a test-first approach (high coverage and automated suites) to reduce risk in production. Based in the UK, he also contributes to the developer community via StackOverflow and public GitHub projects.
