👤
SeniorGary Bowers is a Director and Principal Data Engineer with a strong track record modernising large-scale infrastructure across public and private clouds, currently leading data engineering at Quantum Health. Over eight years focused on cloud-native architecture, he blends deep platform expertise in GCP (BigQuery, GKE, IAM) with hands-on systems programming in Go, C and legacy languages to deliver secure, automated production systems. He has built cloud practices and repeatable SRE-driven frameworks at organisations including Google and KPMG, and designed migrations and tooling that bridge on-prem storage, Kubernetes, and CI/CD.

Based in Stockport, he pairs enterprise-scale thinking with practical automation—often turning complex legacy stacks into testable, cloud-first platforms.
