Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Lush is a Lead Engineer with 13 years of experience building scalable web and backend systems, currently shaping Gymshark’s e-commerce platform and platform capabilities. He moved from full-stack PHP/JavaScript work into specialising in Go-driven, microservice architectures deployed on Kubernetes and AWS, with practical experience in event-driven designs using Lambda, EventBridge, RabbitMQ and containerisation. Chris has a track record of improving observability, managing tech debt, and raising code quality while bridging product and engineering teams to deliver pragmatic solutions. Previously he led delivery of multiple bespoke platforms at Codevate, including a secure AWS migration and a mission-critical telecoms product, and has hands-on experience with geospatial querying and real-time operator dashboards. Based in Birmingham, he combines deep technical breadth with a disciplined, detail-oriented approach and a penchant for learning new technologies to stay relevant. He often surfaces non-obvious improvements—like architecture-level fixes that cut operational toil and unlock product capability—rather than just shipping features.
