Senior🎓
Top SchoolDave Randall is an experienced platform and DevOps engineer with a decade of delivering cloud-native systems, cost optimisations and developer experience improvements for both public sector and commercial clients. He has led platform teams, cut cloud spend by over 50% within months (saving >£1M annually), and stood up cloud environments from zero to containerised and serverless workloads. Comfortable toggling between strategic architecture and hands-on feature delivery, he specialises in infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines and rolling out DevOps practices at scale. His background includes senior roles at HMRC and AXA UK, running his own consultancy, and current platform work for DEFRA and esynergy in London. Known for quickly learning new stacks and improving team velocity, he combines technical leadership with practical delivery. An observant operator, he often drives savings and quality gains by improving developer experience rather than only focusing on tooling.
