Chris Collins

Senior Software Engineer at STV NewsGlasgow

I work across STV News' websites, apps and infrastructure — most of my day-to-day is PHP, Laravel, WordPress, JavaScript and AWS.

I spend a lot of time building and maintaining the systems behind STV News, from mobile apps and publishing tools to deployments and platform infrastructure.

Lately I've been working on:

• Modernising legacy WordPress systems
• Consent management and advertising integrations
• AI-assisted developer workflows and tooling
• Improving deployment and infrastructure workflows
• Building small tools and products outside of work

I enjoy solving practical problems, simplifying messy systems, and building things that are straightforward to maintain long term.

Outside work I'm usually running, hiking, or tinkering with side projects.
