Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmily Shepherd is a platform-focused engineering leader with 11 years' experience designing and operating cloud-native infrastructure, currently directing Red Coat and consulting on Kubernetes and platform builds. She has repeatedly modernised legacy stacks into containerised, cost-effective systems—building purpose-built Kubernetes clusters, migrating monoliths to microservices, and cutting ops costs through pragmatic audits and automation. Comfortable across AWS, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD and frontend frameworks like Vue and React, she combines hands-on DevOps with product-facing responsibilities such as client onboarding, security reviews and technical strategy. Notably, she has taken technical ownership during acquisitions, led CRM overhauls that tied portals to Salesforce, and scaled platform teams while preserving backward compatibility for diverse consumers. Based in Cambridge, Emily blends deep platform engineering craft with clear communication and an aptitude for turning operational pain points into documented, repeatable platform features.
