About

I’m James Marshall, a Senior .NET contractor with over 12 years of experience delivering high-performance, production-critical software across desktop, mobile, and cross-platform environments. I specialise in real-time systems, distributed data synchronization, and scalable architecture, with recent work integrating AI-driven features into production applications.

I thrive in autonomous or multidisciplinary teams, and I’m a strong advocate of clean architecture, test-driven development, and loosely coupled systems. I’ve delivered in defence, industrial, and commercial domains, and I’ve improved system reliability, reduced defects, and built maintainable solutions. I’m based in Devon, UK, hold active SC clearance, fluent in French, and hold a full UK driving license.
