Top SchoolCraig Cook is a seasoned software engineering leader and co-founder currently serving as Chief Engineer at Catapult CX, with 13 years of professional experience and over 18 years in senior engineering roles across public and private sectors. He specialises in cloud, SRE, CI/CD, DevOps and agile transformations, helping organisations speed delivery, reduce risk and embed practitioner-led upskilling rather than repeatedly rescuing failing projects. Craig combines hands-on development (including building a Node.js Twitter client) with strategic delivery of global developer platforms and tooling for thousands of users. He has led large-scale change at enterprises like BT, HSBC and ING, blending architecture, automation and people-centric coaching to improve reliability and developer productivity.

Outside work he’s curious about culture and food—an interest that mirrors his collaborative, user-focused approach to engineering.
