Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Lynn is a Lead Java Engineer with 11 years' experience building and stabilising large-scale wealth and portfolio management systems, currently driving backend architecture at BR-DGE after a decade at Avaloq. He combines hands-on Spring Boot microservices, Kafka/JMS integration and Kubernetes delivery with a strong focus on code clarity, maintainability and cross-team standardisation. Promoted through engineering and domain architect roles, he has led efforts to evolve a Wealth platform from prototype to production-ready, shaping boundaries that enable flexible integration for banking clients. A First-class Computer Science graduate from Heriot-Watt, he is praised for diagnosing complex problems independently and mentoring teams to remove blockers. A less obvious strength is his mix of deep legacy-system experience (PL/SQL and company DSLs) and modern cloud-native practices, making him effective across both brownfield and greenfield projects.
