Hugh Mc Manus is a seasoned software and infrastructure leader with 11 years’ experience building cloud-native platforms, developer tooling, and customer-facing APIs, now heading Digital Experience at Allume Energy in Melbourne. He leads a small engineering team delivering a world-first behind-the-meter solar sharing product, blending hands-on backend work (APIs, Unix, SQL, Python) with strategic roadmapping and team enablement. Previously he drove DevOps transformations for banks and enterprises—migrating monoliths to Kubernetes, implementing CI/CD, and operating AWS infrastructure at scale. Hugh combines a pragmatic engineering mindset with a passion for green energy, actively picking up new tools and scripting languages to solve operational problems himself. Not obviously stated: he regularly moves between deep technical troubleshooting and people-focused leadership, preferring to “help where necessary and get out of the way” to let teams deliver. His background in both startup co-founding and large organizational change gives him a rare mix of product intuition and operational rigor.
