Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Blackie is a Staff Engineer and founder with nine years of full‑stack web experience, specialising in Python-based backends (Django, FastAPI, Wagtail) and modern JavaScript frontends (React, TypeScript, Next.js) paired with thoughtful design using Tailwind/Sass. He has led long-running Django projects for major UK non-profits and built critical donation pathways, NHS LowCode solutions, and multisite Wagtail architectures, blending accessibility and ethical product design into every engagement. Comfortable as a hands-on technical lead or solo developer, he combines agency-honed responsiveness with experience working at enterprise scale, including a stint at Google. Now running Developerfy while serving as Staff Engineer at Mabyduck, he focuses on client-centered solutions that balance polish and practicality — and he unwinds by bringing the same attention to detail to colouring in.
