Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Simpson is a pragmatic engineering director and polyglot developer with over 13 years of professional experience and more than 20 years coding since his Commodore 16 childhood. He leads Whitebolt Ltd as a hands-on technical director, architecting real-time Node.js/Socket.io platforms, AngularJS front-ends, WordPress/WooCommerce sites, and managing a Linux server cluster (Nginx, Postfix, PHP-FPM, GitLab). Comfortable across legacy enterprise stacks like Lotus Notes and modern JS ecosystems up to ES6, he pairs front-end performance instincts born from poor-browser eras with deep server and infrastructure expertise. Stephen excels at turning long-term product vision into production code and infrastructure, acting as both coder and systems operator for startups and councils alike. He brings an engineer’s curiosity and creative drive—programming “for fun” since age 10—combined with proven delivery of bespoke CMS, integrations, and scalable web services.
