Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Belden is a Principal Software Engineer with 12 years' experience building cloud-native infrastructure and resilient microservices, currently working on network defence and private cloud orchestration at F5. He specialises in Go, gRPC, Docker and Kubernetes, and has a track record of shipping production orchestration tools that manage proxy and VM lifecycles on bare metal. Dan has moved between startups and large product teams—leading engineering at a startup, running a dormant consultancy, and delivering contract roles at Mercari, Dojo and Ori—bringing both hands-on implementation and architectural leadership. He frequently bridges DevOps and software engineering, having rebuilt monoliths into distributed feed-ingestion systems and implemented PCI-reducing payment integrations. Based in Middlewich, UK, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a focus on operational reliability and multi-cloud orchestration. An understated strength is his ability to translate operational constraints into developer-friendly automation that keeps complex systems manageable.
