Top SchoolJames Martin is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in platform engineering, SRE and observability with over a decade of hands-on experience building secure, repeatable infrastructure at scale. He currently drives reliability and platform work at Roku after leading SRE efforts at Bugsnag/SmartBear, bringing a pragmatic focus on the three pillars of observability. James combines enterprise-grade infrastructure leadership with startup grit from roles at YellowDog and as co-founder of Forge3D, a Unity Asset Store publisher where he still ships game assets as a side hustle. Based in the Greater Cardiff Area, he pairs formal computing and business training from The Open University with a Royal Signals background, which informs his discipline for incident readiness and civil contingency. He’s also learning Spanish and writes about game development, a detail that reveals both technical depth and a creative, product-minded curiosity.
