Top SchoolGavin Staniforth is a Senior Software Engineer based in Glasgow with 11 years building and modernising large-scale web platforms, particularly in PHP/Symfony and Go. He focuses on performance, scalability and DevOps, having led migrations to AWS EKS, upgraded legacy Symfony/PHP stacks, and built Go tooling to provision realistic local datasets from production stores. Comfortable across the stack, his toolkit includes Kubernetes, Terraform, Redis, Varnish, Solr and MySQL, and he applies CI/CD practices with GitHub Actions, golangci and goreleaser. Previously a systems architect and long-time e-commerce platform contributor, he combines hands-on coding with pragmatic architecture and technical debt reduction.
