Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHenry Cook is a Staff Systems Engineer based in London with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and operating resilient, cost-conscious infrastructure for fast-growing SaaS companies. He has progressed through multiple senior roles at Zego and earlier led foundational DevOps work—migrating orchestration to Kubernetes, adopting Prometheus, Vault, and Terraform, and modernising monitoring and secret management. Comfortable as both the sole operations engineer and a tech lead, he focuses on pragmatic automation using open source ecosystems to remove operational bottlenecks and empower engineers. Not obvious at first glance: he started in desktop and network support and has deep experience migrating legacy on-prem systems to cloud services, giving him rare end-to-end operational perspective. Colleagues know him as someone who still enjoys tinkering and “presses buttons for a living,” combining curiosity with disciplined engineering.
