Summary
Gary Newbolt is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience blending research-grade scientific programming and cloud-native software for energy, aviation and automotive applications. He has led and built IoT and cloud platforms using Java (Spring), Node.js, Python, Kafka and Kubernetes, and currently develops cloud software for the energy industry at Open Energi (a bp company) on AWS. Gary’s background as an EngD-trained research engineer gives him strong analytical rigor and applied math skills, which he pairs with hands-on delivery—designing architectures, mentoring teams, and owning end-to-end features. He has repeatedly bridged academia, government (UK Home Office) and industry to turn experimental data from IoT devices into production-grade platforms. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic technical lead who still digs into debugging across the full stack when needed.
