Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHristo Georgiev is a pragmatic Lead Developer with over 20 years of software engineering experience and a decade each in Scala and database design, currently leading platform work at HM Revenue & Customs. He blends strong hands-on expertise in functional and object-oriented systems (Scala, Java, C++) with proven delivery skills as a Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner, coaching agile teams across Scrum, XP and Kanban. His background spans government and enterprise domains—DWP, Home Office, Springer—where he has taken roles from tech lead to technical project manager and shipped resilient, test-driven services using Kafka, Docker and modern CI toolchains. Comfortable designing databases and ETL pipelines as well as APIs and microservices, he pairs UML-led architecture thinking with practical implementation using Hibernate, Slick and Liquibase. Two master’s degrees in computer science and a history of teaching software architecture reflect a strong theoretical foundation that he applies to solve complex, production-scale problems. Colleagues describe him as an energetic, creative problem-solver who prefers pragmatic, well-tested solutions over cleverness for its own sake.
