👤
SeniorAlex Toft is a hands-on technical leader with 25 years’ experience diagnosing and resolving complex infrastructure faults, currently heading Technical Intervention for NHS Digital with a national remit. He blends deep low-level expertise—kernel and device driver debugging, protocol and packet analysis, DNS and PKI—with cloud automation across AWS and extensive open-source Linux fluency. Comfortable in the trenches and at board level, he writes pragmatic code and tooling to solve operational problems despite not considering himself a developer. His curiosity drives unusual projects—from reverse-engineering IoT and JTAG work to TensorFlow-driven robotics—and underpins a pragmatic, investigative approach to system reliability. Based in Leeds, he pairs rare technical breadth with service-focused leadership for critical national services.
