Edward Sparkes is a Staff Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and delivering large, complex full‑stack systems, currently building an AWS-backed platform for intermediate care teams. He blends hands‑on development across web, mobile and cloud with technical leadership—having led data platform migrations at Monzo, instrumented serverless and Terraform-driven architectures at Cambridge Assessment, and delivered resilient orchestration on Airflow and Kubernetes. Pragmatic about quality and agile delivery, he moves between languages and clouds (Go, Python, C#, GCP, AWS, Azure) to solve real-world operational and data challenges. Known for coaching teams through agile transformations early in his career, he pairs that people-first approach with deep infrastructure taste for event‑driven, serverless designs. A knack for pragmatic automation shows in projects that improve developer productivity and compliance (for example automated data retention tooling), making him as comfortable in CI/CD pipelines as in boardroom strategy.
