Senior🎓
Top SchoolFergus Leahy is a tech lead with 13 years of software engineering experience, currently shaping product and engineering at Outverse from London. He blends research-minded curiosity with practical delivery across web, IoT, robotics and embedded systems, with a particular interest in human-centric travel experiences. Previously he led teams building a traveller-focused direct booking platform, championing Svelte + TypeScript to create maintainable, delightful UIs and adding payment infrastructure like 3DS2 across gateways. Fergus pairs hands-on engineering with mentoring experience from academia—he’s taught and code-reviewed undergraduates at Imperial College and tutored at Glasgow—so he brings strong communication and coaching to technical leadership. Outside work he paddles for a dragon boat club and sneaks in competitive board game sessions, reflecting a collaborative, playfully competitive approach to problem solving.
