Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHarry Fitzgerald is a pragmatic Technical Team Lead with 12 years’ experience designing and operating cloud-native, distributed systems across regulated industries from healthcare and pharma to global e-commerce. He blends hands-on “coding EM” leadership with platform engineering—reducing deployment lead times from days to minutes, standardising CI/CD and observability, and building multi-tenant event-driven integration platforms on GCP. Known for raising engineering maturity, he hires and coaches teams, mentors ICs to senior promotions, and embeds quality through test suites and reusable Terraform modules. Harry repeatedly delivers cost- and risk-saving projects (including replacing third-party WMS integrations and cutting hosting costs for 100+ sites), while keeping reliability targets in the five-9s range for high-volume systems. He prefers pragmatic automation over heroics and often steps in as the primary contributor during critical delivery phases, combining deep technical craft with empathetic people leadership.
