Summary
Craig Webster is a Principal Engineer with 17 years’ experience helping organisations design secure, compliant, and highly automated cloud and platform solutions from startup to enterprise scale. Based in Western Australia, he pairs hands-on engineering (Ruby, CI/CD, Terraform, Chef/Ansible/Puppet, AWS/Azure) with product-oriented technical leadership, often acting as tech lead and product owner for cloud and data platforms. He has a track record of transforming fragile manual processes into automated, auditable pipelines and delivering platform services that enable self-service DevOps while preserving governance in regulated environments. As a founder and consultant he bootstrapped hosting businesses and led client projects across finance, media and government, and at Versent he drove cost, compliance and observability initiatives at scale. Colleagues rely on him to navigate risk, incident response and stakeholder negotiations—skills honed running ops, building platforms and even acting as interim CTO. He’s equally comfortable sketching system architecture for execs as he is writing tested deployment code to make those architectures real.
