Rowan Knight

Senior Developer @ Oracle Finance

About

I am a Senior Developer specializing in building robust, scalable financial systems. With a strong foundation in backend architecture, I spend my days writing clean, maintainable code and untangling complex business logic.


My tool of choice is Django, but my real passion lies in the plumbing of the web. I enjoy exploring, designing, and playing with modern RESTful and GraphQL APIs to make disconnected systems talk to each other seamlessly. Just don't ask me to parse a SOAP envelope—I strongly prefer my payloads in JSON, not buried in XML.
