James Hiew

Software engineer based in London, UK, keen on exploring tough technical challenges.

I'm interested in:

  • 🌎 Distributed systems - complex microservice architectures, peer-to-peer networks like BitTorrent and blockchains, and untangling the chaos when things break
  • 🎲 Procedural generation - emergent complexity from simple rules
  • 🤖 Generative AI - especially as applied to making software development more productive

Some of the things I've worked on:

  • 🏦 Building backend systems at different fintechs (Monzo, Curve, Thought Machine) with Go, Java and Python
  • 💱 Developing the Ethereum bridge for the Namada blockchain with Rust
  • 🎨 Fullstack web apps for both small startups and big business with Django, React and vanilla JavaScript
