Greg Lucas-smith is a seasoned software development manager with roughly 15 years of hands-on experience and two decades of IT leadership delivering large-scale, mission-critical systems across mining, finance, defence, insurance and government. He blends technical depth in cloud-native stacks (Kubernetes, Go, Java, Node.js) with proven Agile transformation and people leadership, having led teams of up to 100 and managed multi-million dollar programs and budgets. Greg has repeatedly rescued failing projects and accelerated delivery cycles—cutting delivery times from over a year to monthly releases—and has shipped complex solutions from pit-to-port scheduling to retail hosting and virtualisation replacements. Equally comfortable building architecture and writing production code, he pairs strategic vision with pragmatic execution and a history of creating stable, low-outage platforms. Notably, he moves between startup and enterprise contexts—founding a consultancy and serving as CTO—bringing a vendor-management savvy that improves outcomes across geographically distributed teams.
