Glen Thomas is a Staff Software Engineer with nine years of professional experience building scalable, cloud-native platforms for major UK retailers and startups. He has led platform and backend transformations—replatforming legacy systems to serverless architectures, automating CI/CD with Terraform and GitLab pipelines, and operating multi-account AWS organisations with least-privilege IAM. Comfortable across functional programming in Clojure, Python serverless tooling, and a long history in C#/.NET, Glen pairs pragmatic engineering with platform thinking to enable high-throughput, low-latency services. He’s driven IoT fleets and real-time event streams for ML pipelines as well as federated GraphQL tooling for microservices, showing a knack for connecting disparate systems. Colleagues rely on him as a mentor who writes runbooks, architecture diagrams and champions operational excellence. Based in North Hertfordshire, Glen combines hands-on delivery with a track record of rebuilding estates end-to-end for resilience and scale.
