Summary
Ahmad Hammad is a level-headed, hands-on engineering leader with 13 years of experience building cloud-native platforms and founding product teams across London and Amman. Currently Head of Platform Engineering at LiveFlow after serving as a founding engineer there, he combines deep technical fluency in Ruby on Rails, Clojure, React, Kubernetes, Kafka and gRPC with a pragmatic bias for action and a habit of incremental, proactive improvement. He has repeatedly scaled teams and systems—from co-founding ButterCloud to leading architecture and delivery at Board Intelligence—while prioritising empathy, ownership and measurable outcomes. Comfortable jumping into code, Ahmad is also learning Elixir and TypeScript, reflecting a continual curiosity for more resilient concurrent systems and modern frontend tooling. Colleagues describe him as a leader who models accountability by example and knows when to pause for strategic design, not just speed.
