Senior🎓
Top SchoolFiona Hobbs is a seasoned software leader and Head of Software Development with over 18 years of experience building high-performing engineering organisations and modernising legacy platforms through cloud-native, domain-driven and event-driven architectures. She’s equally comfortable as a strategic CTO and a hands-on technologist, championing eXtreme Programming, Continuous Delivery, functional programming and C4 modelling to reduce incidents and accelerate release cadence. Fiona has led large-scale re-architectures using AWS serverless services and DDD practices to move teams from 18-month cycles to fortnightly releases, and has scaled engineering headcount from dozens to over 80 technologists. Co-founder of the Build IT Right Conference and an active STEM Ambassador, she also mentors A-level and GCSE students — a reflection of her commitment to growing the regional tech talent pipeline.
