Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBob Gregory is a pragmatic CTO and longtime engineering leader based in London with 11 years of senior experience building cloud-native, serverless-first systems and guiding teams through architectural change. Currently leading technology at Carbon Re, he blends hands-on development—authoring and contributing to the well-regarded Cosmic Python project and introducing C4/PlantUML diagrams—with strategic product thinking around climate-focused software. A former chief architect and engineering coach at Cazoo and MADE.COM, he has a track record of introducing CQRS, DDD and rigorous TDD practices across Python and PHP stacks. Known as a "reluctant CTO" and self-described climate-change monomaniac, he pairs technical rigor with strong engineering coaching to scale teams and code quality. Not obvious from titles alone: he’s equally comfortable fixing documentation and tests as he is defining system-level architecture, bringing a mix of practicality and pedagogy to leadership.
