Summary
Tom Davis is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of proven experience delivering cloud-native solutions and modernising legacy systems across finance, retail and startup sectors. He specialises in .NET and full‑stack work with Node/TypeScript, Svelte and GraphQL, and has led high‑impact projects such as replacing Tesco’s 30‑year payments backbone and migrating Zopa’s applications to AWS. A strong advocate of SOLID, DDD and BDD/TDD practices, Tom combines pragmatic architecture and DevOps skills — Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps and event‑driven systems — to build resilient platforms. He has steered product and platform work from early startup sensor-monitoring at Alcove to enterprise risk and sustainability platforms at Contingent. Equally comfortable as an individual contributor or director-level owner (founder/director at Rumr), he excels at translating complex regulatory and integration requirements into auditable, testable code. Based in the UK, Tom brings a rare blend of payments, cloud migration and functional‑style TypeScript experience, with a knack for turning thorny operational problems into reliable, automated workflows.
