Thomas Henley is a Lead Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building and leading web and mobile teams across startups and established e-commerce businesses in the UK. He prefers Elixir or Node on the backend and React (web and native), Phoenix or Elm on the front end, blending modern functional approaches with pragmatic delivery. His recent leadership roles at Rix Group and {sauce} followed a progression from frontend specialist to software architect, giving him a strong eye for product-facing UI and scalable backend design. Comfortable shipping end-to-end systems, he pairs hands-on coding with team coaching and architectural decision-making. Based in Swanland, he brings practical experience from roles at VictoriaPlum.com, Pitchero and others, and looks for new challenges where functional languages and reactive UIs are valued. A detail that often surprises peers: he moved rapidly from PHP and SAP/IT administration early in his career into leading modern full-stack engineering practices.
