Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Clarkson is a seasoned software leader and hands-on technical director with a career spanning embedded mobile systems to global DevOps and SRE operations. He has repeatedly taken greenfield projects from initial architecture and core framework development through to delivery and 24x7 maintenance, and has built and led teams of up to 50 engineers across the UK and India. His roots in constrained mobile-phone development give him a rare emphasis on efficient, robust code and high quality, which he later translated into tooling and process improvements for development teams (CI/CD, Atlassian stack, static analysis). More recently he has run globally distributed SRE teams supporting mission-critical services and driven DevOps adoption as both practitioner and manager. Based in York with a mathematics background from the University of Leeds, he combines rigorous analytical thinking with practical operational experience across Windows, Linux and macOS environments. Colleagues describe him as an agile evangelist who still enjoys rolling up his sleeves to prototype architectures and solve thorny reliability problems.
