Diego Herrera is a Principal Software Engineer based in Edinburgh with 12 years’ experience combining hands-on full-stack development, systems architecture and technical leadership to deliver over 70 digital projects to customers. He has led engineering chapters at Lloyds Banking Group and now drives technical strategy and delivery at FanDuel, drawing on a background that spans startups he founded, agency leadership and product-facing engineering roles. Comfortable across JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, Python, Ruby and cloud-native tooling (GCP, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes), he builds automated CI/CD pipelines and champions TDD and automation to speed safe delivery. His experience running businesses and acquiring clients gives him a rare operator’s view of customer value and stakeholder management alongside technical decision-making. Known for “getting things out the door,” he balances efficiency with quality and brings both the attention to detail of a former developer and the big-picture thinking of an engineering leader.
