Seymour
Snr Director of Field Engineering ▲Vercel
Author. Entrepreneur. Web Technology Expert. For two decades I've been building products and leading teams at the intersection of web technology and human communication.
Currently at Vercel, where I lead Field Engineering across EMEA and APJ — helping organisations build faster, more resilient web experiences. Previously I spent a decade at Adobe, working on the platforms that power digital media worldwide.
“To have a front row seat to the next small step in the evolution of how our species communicates”
Along the way I've founded Storyus — a Slow Social platform for families, Haktive — getting children and families active, and authored Practical Responsive Images. I believe the best technology disappears into the background and lets people connect, create, and tell their stories.
When I'm not shipping code or leading teams, you'll find me exploring roads less travelled with Traivel Guide, or working on Be9.ing — a platform for intentional living.
