Craig Mellon is a pragmatic, hands-on Chief Technology Officer with over 20 years of experience building and scaling cloud-based enterprise software and engineering teams. He has grown eTech Solutions from a small developer group into multiple teams of 50+ engineers across development, DevOps, and QA, and now leads technology at Harper James following CTO roles at TelXL and CoreLogic UK. Comfortable making day-to-day architectural decisions, he blends strong people leadership and process improvement to deliver reliable, production-grade systems in dynamic environments. His background spans full lifecycle delivery from desktop systems and .NET dealer management platforms to modern cloud-native architectures. Based in Nuneaton, he is equally at home mentoring engineers on the ground and setting strategic roadmaps that align technology with business outcomes. A detail that often surprises peers: despite senior leadership roles, he remains deeply involved in code and technical direction rather than moving entirely into executive oversight.
