Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Salisbury is a pragmatic VP of Engineering with 14 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native platforms, currently driving engineering and operational excellence at Giant Swarm from London.

Comfortable balancing strategy and boots-on-the-ground delivery, he has led cross-functional teams across connectivity, observability, and platform reliability. A First Class Computer Science graduate from Royal Holloway, he mixes practical engineering craft with product-minded leadership—and describes himself on GitHub as an “astral warlock,” hinting at a creative, unconventional approach to problem solving.
