Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Martyr is a Principal Software Engineer based in Amsterdam with 11 years of hands-on experience building full-stack systems across Java, C#, Ruby, Bash and mobile platforms. He has led engineering efforts at Finaps since 2013, combining pragmatic architecture and delivery with a background in agile practices learned during an early placement at Nokia Siemens Networks. A first-class Computer Science graduate from the University of the West of England, he brings strong automation and testing instincts—having built a Ruby-based robustness testing framework early in his career—and a penchant for tooling that reduces developer friction. Comfortable across backend services and client applications, Simon blends long-term product ownership with practical scripting and integration skills that keep systems reliable and maintainable. He’s as likely to mentor peers on architecture as to dive into a shell script to unblock a production issue, reflecting a balance of leadership and hands-on craft.
