Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGeorges Haidar is a London-based founding engineer with 12 years' experience building fast-moving, reliable web platforms and CI/CD-driven delivery pipelines across e-commerce, fintech and government projects. He combines hands-on full‑stack work—React/TypeScript frontends and Go/Node backends—with infrastructure automation using Terraform, Docker, ConcourseCI and AWS to make shipping safe and frequent. At companies from Schibsted/Shpock to GoCardless he has led technical teams, created design systems, and shaped architecture for large distributed marketplaces and stream-processing integrations. He’s pragmatic about risk reduction, evangelising automation and accessibility testing (aXe) to prevent deployment and usability regressions. An active open-source contributor, he improved data transformation behavior in Redpanda’s connect processor to handle raw outputs and edge cases. Colleagues value him for turning complex requirements into well-documented, production-ready systems while keeping teams productive and autonomous.
