Adam Surgenor
Technical Lead at PizzaExpress
West Suffolk, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
SeniorAdam Surgenor is a Technical Lead with nine years of modern full-stack experience, specialising in C#, Java, JavaScript and TypeScript and currently leading engineering at PizzaExpress from West Suffolk. He combines hands-on implementation with system architecture, having delivered microservice migrations, high-performance identity platforms, and critical financial matching systems that resolved multi-year bottlenecks. Adam excels at elevating teams through mentorship, introducing paved-road platforms, shared libraries and ADR-led standards that improve maintainability and onboarding velocity. He has repeatedly reduced operational costs and risk—replacing a half‑million‑pound identity solution and stabilising critical production services—while keeping a pragmatic focus on observability and testing. Notably, he pairs deep legacy-modernisation experience with a knack for simplifying developer workflows (local Docker pipelines, in-IDE tests, reusable npm packages) to accelerate delivery.
