Top SchoolDanny Woods is a seasoned CoreOps engineering lead with over two decades in software, currently shaping resilient deployment and operations practices at Barclays. He combines deep systems and server-side programming experience (Java, C/C++, Perl) with modern cloud-native toolchains and languages (Go, Rust, Docker, OpenShift) to deliver auditable, automated delivery pipelines in highly regulated financial environments. As a founder of a consultancy and a repeat independent architect for major banks, he has a track record of cutting deployment time, automating secrets management, and dramatically improving performance for regulatory reporting. Comfortable across embedded systems through distributed microservices, he brings a pragmatic blend of low-level optimisation, concurrent programming expertise and CI-driven quality. Known as a hands-on mentor and coach, he routinely bridges gaps between business constraints and engineering delivery under immovable deadlines. Based in East Kilbride, he pairs curiosity about functional and concurrent languages with practical delivery of mission-critical systems.
