Steven Cassidy is a seasoned data engineer and software leader with 11 years of professional experience and a long history of directing engineering teams in finance and media. He has led large-scale, mission-critical systems—from securities lending and bank finance platforms at major banks to high-traffic consumer web infrastructure at Mumsnet—combining hands-on full-stack development with people and operational management. Comfortable across Java/J2EE, Ruby on Rails, databases and cloud deployment, he pairs technical depth with pragmatic delivery and mentoring experience from bootcamp instruction to directing distributed teams. Recently transitioning through freelance work to a data engineering role at Atheneum, he brings both consulting agility and institutional delivery discipline. Educated in PPE at Oxford and with an MSc in Computer Science from the University of London, he blends broad strategic perspective with rigorous technical training. Colleagues describe him as a practical problem-solver who moves effortlessly between code, architecture and business context.
