Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Bailey is a seasoned technology leader and Senior Technical Director based in Bristol with over 20 years in IT and 16 years in senior roles building resilient, scalable platforms. He combines hands-on expertise in Python, CI/TDD, application security, performance tuning, monitoring (ELK/Grafana) and automation (Ansible/Terraform) with a track record of growing high-performing distributed Agile teams. At Wazoku he’s led infrastructure, security, automation, data and AI teams for a global SaaS platform—driving capacity planning, risk analysis, pen testing and a company-wide bug bounty programme. His background includes academic research and published work from a PhD in computer science, and a history of implementing CI pipelines, Kubernetes clusters and automated test frameworks across enterprise and higher-education projects. Pragmatic and curious, he’s equally comfortable profiling and optimising poorly performing code as he is defining organisation-wide deployment standards and monitoring hundreds of services.
