Summary
Simon Painter is a Senior Software Engineer with nearly two decades of hands-on experience and a deep pedigree in C# dating back to its first release, currently shaping enterprise solutions across healthcare and previously for major firms like Müller UK & Ireland and bet365. A Microsoft MVP since 2023, O'Reilly author, and international speaker, he blends practical engineering with community-facing thought leadership and a formal MSc in Computing with Computer Security.
