👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Gray is a contract full-stack software engineer based in Sheffield with 12 years of experience delivering production web and TV-platform software across fintech, travel booking, streaming for TVs, and e-commerce. He ships Node and React.js solutions daily, and has deep backend experience in JS/TS and PHP frameworks (Express, Hapi, Laravel) while also prototyping frontends in React, Vue, SolidJS and Svelte. Thomas has led migrations from monoliths to API-driven architectures and designed high-availability Node APIs integrated with AWS for complex domain logic like debt management and bespoke holiday bookings. At the BBC he helped future-proof discovery and playback on big-screen platforms, and at Pure Escapes he combined frontend feature work with backend refactors to support highly customisable booking rules and offers. He frequently acts as senior engineer and technical lead on cross-functional teams, balancing maintainability, accessibility and automated testing. Outside work he’s the sort of engineer who documents personality into profiles—his GitHub mentions his dog Barney—hinting at a pragmatic, personable approach to code and collaboration.
