Summary
Simon Trewhella is a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and shipping pragmatic, well-architected software across startups, research labs and product teams in the Greater Melbourne area. He blends polyglot hands-on development with an eye for clean architecture—moving between frontend leadership and deep backend work as shown by senior roles at ExoFlare, CSIRO's Data61 and current work at InstantScripts. Comfortable scaling prototypes into production, he has repeatedly stepped into lead frontend and full-stack responsibilities while keeping code quality and maintainability front of mind. Simon’s background in games and interactivity plus a Master of IT gives him a thoughtful approach to UX-driven engineering and performance benchmarking. Colleagues rely on him to translate ambiguous requirements into testable, auditable systems and to mentor teams through technical trade-offs.
