Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolGarret Taylor is a seasoned enterprise and systems architect with over a decade of experience designing high-performance, secure distributed systems for large organisations and software companies. He led the transformation of monolithic security products into service-based SaaS platforms on AWS at IBM, and has deep domain experience in payments, telco, and public sector transaction systems. Equally comfortable in data architecture and performance engineering, he blends relational and search technologies (Postgres, Elasticsearch, Solr) with observability and benchmarking practices to deliver reliable, low-latency solutions. His technical toolkit spans cloud, Kubernetes/OpenShift, Red Hat Operator Framework, DevOps automation (Ansible, Jenkins), and Python, with a focus on incident detection and response. Now directing Watson Taylor, he brings both hands-on systems engineering and strategic leadership—an architect who still digs into query tuning and performance profiles when stakes are high.
