Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Scott is a software engineer with eight years’ experience architecting developer-facing distributed systems, public APIs, and AI agent systems, currently building developer tools at Google out of London. He has a strong track record driving cloud adoption and automation—introducing Terraform-managed CDN configuration at Microsoft and creating APIs that enabled distributed compute for data scientists at Capital One. Comfortable across infrastructure, backend services, and compliance, he has repeatedly led cross-team efforts (including GDPR triage and platform upgrades) and advocated for Go and Kubernetes adoption through talks, workshops, and hands-on mentorship. His background includes building “compliance-as-code” tooling at 18F and production-facing cloud/Android engineering at Intel, showing a mix of security-conscious automation and systems-level performance work. Colleagues would call him a pragmatic engineer who turns institutional friction into repeatable, auditable processes that accelerate teams.
