Vaughn Dickson

Polyglot developer/architect/hacker and CTO.

I specialise in web applications and distributed systems using Java, with Python, Groovy, Clojure, etc. on the side. I’ve built everything from large-scale distributed search engines with ML, to web app MVPs, in startups and corporates over the past 25 years. Currently a free-range consulting CTO (more info here). Research interests include machine learning, data visualisation, and robotics.

Recent work

Reading

The books that shaped how I design systems and run teams are on the recommended reading list.
