The latest edition of Selwyn magazine includes the story of Jon Reynolds (pictured), who started as a student at Selwyn in 2004, and his role in one of the leading technology start-ups in Europe. Along with Joe Braidwood (also SE 2004), he developed SwiftKey – the app that helps your smartphone keyboard to become more intuitive and intelligent. SwiftKey is now available on an estimated half a billion phones worldwide, and the company has 150 employees in London, San Francisco, Seoul, Hong Kong and New Delhi. Other Selwynites from the 2004 year group have played a major role, including Joe Osborne, Chris Carr and Alex Nixon.
