Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEdd Armitage-king is a Staff Software Engineer in London with 13 years' experience building and operating backend systems, and over a decade focused on a realtime planning and command system for dense automated warehouses. He has progressed through hands-on roles at Ocado Technology from core development to staff-level ownership, shipping Java-based control software alongside a full discrete-event simulator and supporting global warehouse go-lives. Edd combines deep systems thinking with operational experience—daytime and out-of-hours support, incident response, and an on-prem-to-AWS migration—so his code is informed by real production constraints. He’s comfortable across the stack, from simulation and performance-sensitive control loops to cloud infrastructure and product prototyping with stakeholders. Notably, his long tenure on a single mission-critical system gives him rare domain expertise in robotics-driven logistics rather than just generic backend services.
