Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGraham Hayes is a seasoned Software Architect with 12+ years building cloud-native infrastructure and REST APIs, currently shaping platform architecture at Udemy from Dublin. He combines hands-on engineering in Python, OpenStack orchestration (tripleO, Heat), Terraform, Salt and Ansible with practical Kubernetes contributions and a history of guiding large-scale distributed systems. Previously a Principal Engineer at Microsoft, he focused on sovereignty, privacy and high-availability for regulated cloud workloads, and served on the OpenStack Technical Committee and as Designate PTL. Comfortable leading remote and co-located teams, he bridges governance and implementation—evident in governance roles from student-union chair to open-source project leadership. Colleagues know him for turning policy and regulatory constraints into reproducible architecture and automation rather than compromise.
