Brave Location · The online home of Brave Location Services Ltd.

Hi, I'm John Pollard, the owner of Brave Location Services Ltd.

I’m a mobile-focused full-stack developer who’s spent my career working with some very different organisations - from tiny startups to large enterprises - and getting things shipped quickly

I’ve built and scaled iOS, Android and Flutter apps, designed and supported the backend APIs behind them, and helped teams fix architectural problems when projects are having problems

Across contracts and longer roles I’ve worked on financial services, health, education, sport and university systems

I’m hands-on, pragmatic, and am used to arriving in the middle of a codebase, understanding what’s really going on, and improving delivery without slowing teams down

I’m equally at home pairing with developers, mentoring teams, or working solo to get features over the line - on-site or remotely from Northumberland, where I’ve been an effective remote contributor for over 20 years
