Senior🎓
Top SchoolIlan Pillemer is a Cloud Engineering Director based in London with 14 years of professional experience and over 20 years building diverse software systems across languages and platforms. He specializes in cloud-native platform engineering—designing internal developer platforms, GitOps tooling, and bespoke systems software (primarily in Go) that run resilient microservices on Kubernetes and AWS. Comfortable in ambiguity, he leads R&D, IoT and data-science-facing teams to turn experimental ideas into production-grade, 24/7 global services. His background spans hands-on technical leadership from SAP and mobile platforms to global solutions architecture, giving him a rare blend of enterprise governance and startup-style engineering velocity. Always learning new languages for their own sake, he pairs academic depth (MSc Advanced Computing with distinction) with pragmatic delivery of platform-level developer experiences.
