Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Long is a pragmatic software engineer with eight years’ experience rebuilding and modernising enterprise systems across finance and energy sectors. Currently at OVO, he’s reconstructing a legacy service with a modern stack (C#, .NET 7, React, GraphQL, Kafka, K8s, AWS) and a clear focus on observability and data (DataDog, BigQuery). Previously at Aviva he led tech-debt reduction, API design and migration work on pension platforms, pairing deep code analysis with practical refactoring. Comfortable from scripting and tooling to cloud-native deployments, he also writes technical content and tinkers on personal projects in his spare time. Based in South Norfolk, he combines hands-on delivery with an analyst’s attention to risk and remediation—skills rooted in earlier roles spanning vulnerability coordination, desktop support and domain portfolio administration.
