Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Brazier is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of experience building cloud-native and distributed systems, currently focused on Python and TypeScript at Epidemic Sound in Stockholm. He has a strong track record of modernising platforms—migrating large codebases to Python 3, introducing static typing and CI-driven analysis, and moving services to Kubernetes and cloud environments. As a hands-on consultant and contractor for teams at Spotify, JUST EAT and TriOptima, he pairs deep backend skills with front-end TypeScript work and practical DevOps improvements like better error reporting and test environments. He believes in “you build it, you run it,” often taking on on-call responsibilities and mentoring teams on reliability and engineering practices. An active open-source contributor, he improved PHPCI’s Windows support and testing plugins, demonstrating attention to cross-platform robustness and CI tooling. His MPhys in Theoretical Physics underpins a methodical, systems-oriented approach to problem solving and optimisation.
