Darren Morris is a Principal Consultant and seasoned application developer with over 25 years of experience building large-scale Java and enterprise systems and a long track record of agile/XP practice. He blends deep J2EE expertise (from early JDKs through modern frameworks) with recent cloud-native and DevOps skills—Kubernetes, multi-cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), Terraform and Ansible—to modernise legacy platforms and automate delivery. His career spans senior roles across finance and retail (Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, John Lewis, Visa) and leadership positions at startups and consultancies, demonstrating an ability to move between hands-on development and strategic technical architecture. Comfortable in messaging and EAI landscapes (MQ, JMS, web services) and relational databases, he also brings Scala experience and Play/Dropwizard microservice work to polyglot stacks. Known for practical, delivery-focused coaching, he often leads teams through continuous integration and incremental modernisation rather than big-bang rewrites. Based in London with a BSc in Computer Science, he combines entrepreneurial stints as an owner/consultant with enterprise-grade engineering.
