Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Sproat is a Lead Web Developer with 17 years' experience designing and delivering e-commerce and transactional web platforms, currently leading development at Cycle Solutions in Wales. He blends full-stack expertise (C#, VB.NET, Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL) with strong HTML/CSS craft and a pragmatic emphasis on clean, maintainable architecture and refactoring. Steven routinely drives cross-functional decisions—translating business needs into architectures, spotting edge cases, and evaluating trade-offs—while mentoring teams on coding standards and performance. Notable impact includes cutting a product listings page load from 10s to 2s and improving organic search visibility through hands-on SEO work. Equally comfortable with server management and stakeholder communication, he explains technical complexity to non-technical audiences and shapes product enhancements with an eye for downstream effects.
