Senior🎓
Top SchoolTravis Hesketh is a Staff Software Engineer based in Glasgow with nine years’ experience building data-driven backend systems, currently focused on climate tech at Lunar Energy. He transitioned from a computational chemistry PhD trajectory to software, bringing domain-driven problem solving and scientific rigor to large-scale data and cloud migration projects. His work at NHS Digital included architecting resilient pipelines for national COVID and vaccination data, and building a configuration-driven ingestion portal that scaled to tens of millions of rows on a single machine. As a senior consultant and technical lead at Aire Logic he combined hands-on Python engineering with stakeholder-facing responsibilities like recruitment and bid support. Comfortable moving between research, consultancy and product engineering, he excels at turning complex data workflows into robust, usable systems for non-technical stakeholders.
