Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Louw is a Lead Engineer and Architecture Owner with nine years of experience building high-performance, user-focused web platforms and data pipelines. He designs pragmatic, maintainable solutions—from ultra-lightweight vanilla TypeScript SPAs used by 700k+ users to GCP-based Pub/Sub and BigQuery pipelines processing billions of analytics events daily. Tim pairs hands-on frontend expertise (Angular, Tailwind, Capacitor, Dexie.js) with infra skills in Terraform and CI/CD, and has driven organisation-wide improvements such as a type-safe TypeScript data library adopted by 20+ teams. He’s comfortable consolidating mono repos, reducing technical debt, and mentoring engineers to raise delivery and developer experience. An entrepreneurial builder and former co-founder, he often chooses creative, minimalist approaches that optimize performance and accessibility for constrained environments.
