Top SchoolDavid Winn is a Core Software Engineer with 11 years' experience building resilient backend systems for TV, EduTech and marketing domains, specialising in Java, Kotlin and AWS. He designs and modernises RESTful microservices (Spring Boot, Ktor) and has driven large-scale improvements at ITV—migrating a 60+ microservice ecosystem to real-time schedule updates and introducing GitHub Actions and Prometheus for better CI/CD and observability.

He balances production-grade engineering with cross-team coordination, having led UAT with third-party providers and implemented feature-flagged rollouts for zero-downtime transitions. Outside work he channels his enduring web-dev curiosity into running a videogame fan site, reflecting a practical hunger for continuous learning and user-focused projects.
