Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Long is a polyglot Systems Development Engineer with over 20 years of commercial experience and a decade-plus focused on cloud-native, big data and streaming systems. He currently builds scalable infrastructure at AWS using Scala and Python, and has previously led principal engineering efforts to centralise research data, design Akka/Play microservices, and ship Spark/Kafka-based recommenders at Sky. A pragmatic Agile practitioner and former Scrum Master, he blends hands-on development with mentoring and architecture decisions, and routinely codifies infrastructure with Jenkins, Helm, Terraform and Kubernetes. He combines enterprise-grade delivery with a craftsperson’s mindset from active involvement in London software communities, and has a track record of moving legacy stacks to resilient microservice platforms. An often-overlooked strength is his fluency across both application and IaC layers, enabling end-to-end ownership from data pipelines through production deployment.
