Axel K is a backend software engineer and tech lead with 11 years’ experience building low-latency, high-availability distributed systems for finance and healthcare. Comfortable across Java/Kotlin and Python stacks, he combines hands-on development with AWS-based operations, CI/CD and event-sourced architectures to deliver reliable services under strict SLAs. He progressed to tech lead in 2022, blending people leadership with continued coding on performance-critical systems. A former chemical engineer and field engineer, Axel brings an analytical, instrumentation-minded approach—evident from past work integrating medical and telemetry devices—and an enduring curiosity for Rust, Go and systems-level languages. Based in Nottingham, he pairs practical production experience with teaching and mentoring roots from university and volunteer roles.
