Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Corcoran is a pragmatic engineering leader with 10 years’ experience building data platforms and teams across public sector and media organisations, now heading Digital & Data Engineering at Teach First. He has a strong track record modernising analytics on Azure and AWS—migrating legacy ETL to Python, introducing CI/CD, and architecting secure platforms (Synapse/Databricks) that enabled the first safeguarded use of LLMs with sensitive Helpline data. Ben pairs hands-on technical delivery (Spark, PySpark, Airflow, Terraform) with people strategy, having defined and hired strategic data roles and grown cross-functional capability. His international secondment to set up Rwanda’s first Big Data Lab shows a knack for practical capacity building and knowledge transfer under constrained conditions. Colleagues rely on him to balance urgent operational demands with longer-term platform investments that reduce costs and accelerate deployment.
