Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDan Barclay is a founder and tech lead with 8+ years of experience building scalable web and mobile products used by millions, combining hands-on full‑stack expertise in TypeScript, React, Node.js, Rust and SwiftUI. He has led and hired high-performing cross-functional teams at enterprises like Lloyds and Moonpig and shipped resilient systems at the BBC, Wales & West Utilities and in his own app, KeepFresh, which applies his interest in pragmatic user-centered design to reduce food waste. Comfortable across frontend, backend and mobile stacks, he also introduced component-driven development, robust testing strategies and CI/CD practices to improve delivery speed and quality. Known for aligning technical vision with business outcomes, he pairs product intuition with engineering discipline, and—less obvious—balances his software career with national-level football refereeing, which sharpens his decision-making under pressure.
