Summary
Thomas Duchatelle is a principal software development engineer with 13 years’ experience building scalable, low-latency systems for finance, retail and insurance, currently leading high-throughput pricing infrastructure at Tesco. He combines deep Java and microservices expertise with hands-on DevOps and cloud migrations—replatforming legacy systems to Kubernetes and designing event-driven, serverless pipelines for NLP workloads. Thomas has repeatedly delivered cost-efficient architectures for data-heavy domains (from ingesting GBs/hour of sensor data to tens of thousands of requests per second at checkout) and mentors teams through modernization and CI/CD improvements. His background as a founder and early-stage engineer gives him a product-minded pragmatism alongside architectural rigor, and he often bridges machine learning models into production-ready services. Notably, he led a rapid proof-of-concept to operationalize two years of academic medical-NLP research into a serverless product, demonstrating an ability to turn research into production quickly.
