Chris Morse is a pragmatic software team lead with 10+ years’ experience building and maintaining web and cloud systems, currently leading a multidisciplinary engineering team at QinetiQ. He is fluent in Python, C#, and JavaScript, with deep hands-on experience across React, legacy WebForms, AWS (Amplify, Lambda, Elasticsearch, Cognito) and DynamoDB/GraphQL, and is AWS-accredited and a Certified Scrum Master. Chris combines day-to-day coding—authoring data ingestion Lambdas, CloudFormation, and Python modem-communication services—with technical leadership, system design and stakeholder-driven project delivery. He has a track record of modernising stacks while pragmatically supporting long-lived legacy apps and even customising log shipping solutions for secure telemetry. Colleagues describe him as intellectually curious (self-described “intellectually masochistic”) and a team player who enjoys sharing knowledge and polishing imperfect systems into reliable services.
