Summary
Harry Panayiotou is a Lead Platform Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native web infrastructure, GitOps pipelines, and DevOps platforms across retail and SaaS organisations. He progressed from Cisco networking into platform and site reliability roles, leading global gitops rollouts, automated cluster scaling to cut carbon and cost, and self-service developer tooling at scale. At LUSH and Optibrium he grew teams, managed roadmaps and vendor contracts, and delivered measurable improvements in performance, security and operational efficiency. Technically fluent in Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD, Prometheus/Grafana and pipeline automation, he pairs deep systems knowledge with pragmatic governance and platform-as-code practices. Outside work he experiments with home automation, 3D printing and Node/Go projects, which often feed useful automation ideas back into his day job. He is settled in London and explicitly not looking for new roles, focused instead on growing impact where he is.
