James Owen

I'm James.

I'm a Backend Engineer, Amateur Boxer, and a life long learner.

I'm a Backend leaning Engineer with a wealth of experience building scalable backends with Node and sometimes Go. I can work across the stack if needed and even have some experience with Smart Contract as well as Data Engineering.

When I'm not coding, I'm challenging myself in other ways: either in the boxing ring, or tackling a new language, or even sometimes in an intense 1v1 on Rust (those who know, know). Overcoming tough challenges and levelling up my skills in life are what drive me daily.
