Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Meyers is a Lead Software Engineer based in York, England with 11 years of experience designing and operating high-performance, scalable backend platforms across AWS and GCP. He combines deep infrastructure and DevOps expertise with a background in network and systems administration, repeatedly owning platform architecture, multi-account cloud migrations, CI/CD and observability for critical services in regulated environments. At Griffin he led cross-region failover design, AAA procurement and company-wide on-call processes, and at the BBC he helped build a Kafka-backed ML platform and high-throughput microservice workflows in Clojure. Comfortable in small agile teams, he mentors engineers, drives reliability and security posture, and still dives into low-level performance optimisations when systems demand it. Equally fluent in Clojure, Python, TypeScript and JVM tooling, he ships pragmatic infra and developer tooling like in-house Clojure services and Bazel-driven builds. Outside work he brings operational smarts from a decade as a university network/sysadmin, which informs his practical, resilience-first approach to platform engineering.
