Summary
Ben Andersen-waine is a Principal Engineer based in London with 14 years of hands-on experience building cloud-native systems, leading teams, and shipping data-driven products. He blends deep backend expertise in Go, Java and PHP with strong DevOps and AWS skills, routinely designing CI/CD pipelines, AMI-based deploys, and scalable data services. As a pragmatic XP advocate he enforces TDD/BDD, pair programming and “shift-left” practices to reduce production errors and speed delivery. He has led engineering at startups and scale-ups—driving Go adoption at ZPG, architecting high-throughput integrations at Flypay, and guiding product/technical strategy as CTO of Stay Nimble. Comfortable toggling between shipping code and shaping cloud platforms, he also brings a history of conference speaking and technical due diligence for early-stage ventures.
