Ellis Pritchard is a senior software engineer with over a decade of experience building distributed systems, data platforms and billing/payment integrations across startups and large enterprises. He’s delivered resilient, production-grade services at companies like Funding Circle, Deliveroo, the Financial Times and Elephant Healthcare, often owning both backend microservices and front-end integrations. Skilled in Kafka, Kubernetes, GraphQL and a mix of languages (Node.js, Go, Java, Python), he focuses on automating manual processes and improving testing and operational discipline. Ellis is as comfortable leading teams and mentoring engineers as he is rolling up his sleeves to design architecture or integrate complex banking and ledger APIs. Based in East Hampshire, he pairs a pragmatic engineering mindset with an unusual background in sustainable architecture (MSc), bringing systems-level thinking to software design.
