Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Wilkinson is a pragmatic Senior Staff Engineer with 11 years of experience building and evolving high-availability fintech and web platforms from monoliths to multi-product architectures. Based in Sheffield, he has progressed through technical and managerial roles at Lendable—moving from Senior Engineer to Engineering Manager and now senior staff—where he focuses on reliable APIs, refactoring, testing discipline, and observability. He pairs hands-on PHP/Symfony and React experience with DevOps know-how (AWS, Docker, Jenkins) and a strong emphasis on code quality tools and SOLID practices. Comfortable leading teams and reviewing architecture, he also brings product-facing instincts from frequent collaboration with credit and product teams to prioritize technical debt. An early career in agencies and startups gave him breadth across e-commerce, desktop Electron apps, and real-time integrations, so he’s as effective at tactical delivery as he is at shaping longer-term platform direction.
