Summary
Alexander Mussell is a Senior Platform Engineer with nine years' experience designing, automating, and securing large-scale developer platforms and infrastructure for global streaming products. At Sky/NBCUniversal he architects and operates Go-based orchestration systems, custom Kubernetes CRDs, and multi-tenant CI/CD and artifact solutions that replaced manual, multi-day operations with automated, auditable workflows. He combines cloud-native engineering across AWS, GCP, and Azure with practical governance—account vending, network architecture, and guardrails—plus observability and MySQL-backed event persistence. Comfortable across the full path to production, he enforces end-to-end testing and platform RBAC while integrating with GitHub Actions, JIRA, and enterprise identity systems. Based in London, he pairs hands-on technical depth with a user-focused approach to developer self-service, and outside work he’s an avid thru-hiker and gym-goer who walks a Pharaoh Hound named Cleo.
