Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan P is a Staff Systems Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and scaling cloud-native, cost-efficient infrastructure for high-growth and enterprise organisations. He specialises in Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, and AI/ML platform enablement, and has led migrations from Apache Mesos to Kubernetes while delivering 99.5% uptime SLAs. At Community.com he drove cloud cost optimisation that saved ~$320K annually and built an AI-powered on-call Slack bot in Go that halved incident lookup times. His background spans regulated finance and banking platforms, real-time fraud detection pipelines, and crypto-era re-architectures, giving him a pragmatic blend of security, latency-sensitive networking and data engineering experience. Comfortable partnering with CTOs and VPs, he combines hands-on coding and automation with strategic platform decisions to reduce toil and operational overhead. Based in the UK, he’s as likely to author Terraform and Go tooling as he is to architect BGP/DirectConnect designs for tier-one banks.
