Top SchoolAllen Fensome is an experienced platform architect and technology leader with over a decade of hands-on experience designing cloud-native, developer-friendly delivery platforms for UK government and enterprise services. Currently leading the Common Delivery Platform at Defra, he focuses on platform engineering that abstracts DevOps for tenant teams while providing self-service tooling and built-in best practices. His background spans Scala, Java, Go, Kubernetes, AWS and event-driven systems, and includes shaping engineering assurance across large organisations like HMRC and DWP.
