Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Newman is a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years’ experience blending DevOps, infrastructure automation, and software engineering across Windows and Linux environments for regulated FinTech and consumer gaming businesses. He designs and manages CI/CD pipelines and infra-as-code using tools such as Ansible, Chef, Terraform, Packer, Jenkins and AWS, and has implemented HA and DR practices at scale. His background in internationalization and localization spans 14+ years on flagship game titles, where he automated asset workflows and reduced delivery costs—an uncommon crossover that informs his pragmatic approach to globalized, production-ready systems. He is a polyglot developer comfortable in C/C++, C#, Python, Ruby, PowerShell and Bash, and has driven migrations between major tooling stacks (Puppet→Chef→Ansible, CloudFormation→Terraform). Known for creating practical automation (e.g., ELK/Artifactory/Gerrit deployment roles, data pipelines with Lambda/Kinesis/Glue), he pairs deep technical craft with experience leading small teams and stepping into interim Scrum Master and team lead roles. Based in England, he currently applies this blend of ops and engineering expertise at NatWest Boxed.
