Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimothy Weightman is a Senior Software Engineer and pragmatic technical leader with 11 years of experience building reliable full-stack systems and mentoring distributed teams from Melbourne. He pairs hands-on development (Go, Ruby, React, TypeScript, AWS) with people leadership—having led remote teams, run line management, and advocated cultural shifts away from “hero” engineering toward collaborative delivery. At Zai and Reece he drove automation of manual operations, improved customer support tooling, and handled high-value transactions safely, while at MYOB he championed a design system adopted across multiple products. An active contributor to community projects, he has built backend logic for a creative GitHub bot that manages PR voting and labels, showing a blend of practical engineering and playful experimentation. Colleagues describe him as transparent, honest and team-oriented—someone who mentors others with a “we’re in this together” approach while still shipping robust, test-covered features.
