Summary
Chris Cundill is a seasoned technical lead and architect with over two decades of experience delivering Java-centric, cloud-native enterprise systems that support tens of thousands of users and sustain thousands of transactions per minute. He combines hands-on engineering—modern Java, Spring Boot, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform and AWS—with strategic roles as CTO and solution architect across public-sector programmes including DVLA, HM Land Registry and the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government. Comfortable across the full stack and infrastructure, Chris also brings verified expertise in application security (GIAC-certified) and a track record of productionising event-sourced, CQRS and microservice architectures. He has repeatedly led small engineering teams through complex digital transformation projects, balancing delivery, automation and compliance. Based in Swansea, he pairs consultancy work with running small retail operations, reflecting an appetite for pragmatic, operational leadership beyond pure engineering.
