Summary
Stephan Solomonidis is a multidisciplinary software engineer and product leader with nine years’ experience building data-driven growth systems, leading cross-functional engineering and marketing teams, and shipping production services in Rust, Elixir/Erlang, and Python. At Wise he ran the Scalable Growth function—directly responsible for roughly 30% of new customer acquisition—and led teams across referral, SEO, localisation and MarTech while digging deep into analytics to uncover multi-million-pound savings and correct misleading marketing metrics. He combines rigorous mathematical training (BSc Mathematics and Statistics) with hands-on engineering: real-time event consumers, Stan integrations for live investment decisions, and bespoke Python analytical stacks. Comfortable from bare metal to AWS/GCP, he designs infrastructure pragmatically and has a history of shipping customised CRM and localisation solutions for international clients (including professional-level Portuguese). Colleagues describe him as someone who prefers to “not skim”: he dives deep into academic-style problems but always with a focus on measurable real-world impact. Now self-employed, he blends product, data and engineering skills to solve high-leverage problems end-to-end.
