Shame he didn't spend time reading up on SOLID principles, clean code, refactoring and TDD. Sounds like Jr parading as a senior. Product nerd != good developer.
Most seniors got burned so much, they refuse to build complex unsupportable stuff. KISS is king with top devs.
The fact this dude has the most experience says everything about your orgs hiring processes. Cheaping out on senior salaries.
Cheap doesn't even begin to describe it.
