Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Brown is a Senior Software Engineer based in Sheffield with 14 years of experience building and operating robust infrastructure and data migration solutions across Linux and Solaris environments. He has progressed from network and operations roles at PlusNet into DevOps, build and principal infrastructure engineering positions at WANdisco, and now applies that systems-first mindset to manufacturing analytics at FourJaw. His technical strengths include Perl, C, MySQL, Debian, Solaris 10 and Cloudmark Gateway administration, with a particular knack for complex data migrations and reliable build pipelines. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic ownership of end-to-end systems and for translating legacy operational knowledge into modern cloud-capable workflows. Less obvious: he pairs hands-on coding with deep operational experience, making him well suited to tame brittle systems and improve developer velocity in production-critical environments.
