Gary Yendell is a systems software engineer with a decade of experience designing, building and supporting high-availability control and data-readout systems for synchrotron beamlines. At Diamond Light Source he led detector readout and control framework modernization for the Diamond-II upgrade, driving cross-facility open-source collaboration and mentoring engineers in production best practices. He is fluent in Python and C++, comfortable across Linux, containers and Kubernetes, and has delivered everything from embedded device drivers to containerised orchestration for experiment automation. Now at Oxford Ionics, he continues to apply pragmatic architecture and observability to make scientific infrastructure reliable and performant for the next 15+ years. An uncommon strength is his blend of hands-on on-call operational experience with long-term roadmap ownership, ensuring designs survive real-world use.
