Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Holmes is a human-centric engineering leader and co-founder with 13 years' experience blending full-stack development, consultancy, and organisational change to improve software delivery through culture. Based in Crowthorne, he helps technology teams diagnose and fix non-technical bottlenecks via tools like an Engineering Culture Index and Team Dependencies Matrix, while also acting as fractional CTO/COO for AI-driven startups. An author of Getting MEAN, Simon pairs practical coding experience with a gift for explaining complex ideas—an approach that has measurably changed people’s lives. He champions the view that engineering is a deeply human endeavour and leverages that perspective to align product strategy, operations and long-term technical direction. Unusually, his background in cultural studies informs his ability to translate human dynamics into actionable technical interventions.
