Top SchoolHaydn Du Plessis is a Head of Engineering with nine years of experience leading full-stack development, DevOps, and QA across iGaming, consulting, and research environments. He progressed from hands-on roles at CERN — automating and containerising workloads on a 4,000-node compute farm — to driving cloud-native delivery, CI/CD and microservice adoption in commercial teams. At Wildz Group he oversees all technical delivery while previously building self-service pipelines and tooling that shrank developer onboarding from weeks to hours. His background spans IoT, smart-city research, product development and medical-grade electronics, giving him a rare mix of systems engineering and product sensibility. He holds an M.Eng. (cum laude) in Engineering Management and dual bachelors in Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, and is known for turning complex infrastructure challenges into repeatable, automated platforms.
