Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndré Lucas is a Senior Principal Software Engineer with over two decades of hands-on experience in DevOps and IT infrastructure, now focusing on large-scale systems at Akamai while also serving as Chief Architect at StorageOS. He has led engineering teams at fast-growing storage startups, transforming product architectures and operational practices from early-stage datacentre builds to production-grade, software-defined storage platforms. Prior roles across major financial institutions and public sector organisations gave him deep experience running multi-year core infrastructure projects under strict operational and compliance constraints. Known for blending pragmatic engineering with strong leadership, he moves easily between coding, architecture and people management to deliver reliable systems at scale. Based in Newbury, England, he is comfortable in both startup and enterprise environments and often brings lessons from high-pressure banking ops into cloud-native infrastructure design. A practical UNIX/Linux specialist, he pairs institutional-grade operational rigor with a startup’s speed to iterate.
