Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Walker is a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and operating distributed systems and cloud-native web applications, currently driving engineering work at Eagle Eye. He is a pragmatic Go specialist who has built Kubernetes-focused tooling (Wayfinder) for multi-cloud provisioning and upgrades, and has deep experience in microservices, observability and reducing MTTR in production. As a former Principal Engineer he led platform initiatives—internationalisation, synthetic production testing, security training—and expanded on-call resilience and team practices while still shipping hands-on code. His background spans high-throughput, fault-tolerant systems for travel and public sector customers, and he brings a strong bias for delivering measurable business value through agile practices. An avowed enthusiast of geospatial and decentralised web ideas, he pairs technical breadth with clear communication and operational ownership.
