Summary
James Parry is a principal software engineer and cloud architect with 15+ years delivering secure, multi-tenant SaaS platforms and modernising legacy systems for scale and maintainability. He combines hands-on engineering with strategic leadership—shaping architecture, guiding delivery, mentoring teams, and working directly with founders and executives to drive product and security decisions. His recent work spans EV charging orchestration, digital asset delivery, maternal health eConsultations and cyber intelligence, often replacing fragile proofs-of-concept with event-driven, serverless or containerised architectures on AWS and GCP. A security-first practitioner, he embeds threat modelling, IAM least-privilege and data segregation into platform design and has engineered solutions meeting HMG IL3 accreditation. Known for pragmatic delivery, he leads end-to-end projects from discovery to handover while enabling internal teams to take ownership and sustain resilient systems.
