Top SchoolKathryn Baker is a Senior Software Engineer and Project Manager with 11+ years delivering software for scientific facilities at STFC, blending hands-on development with team leadership and stakeholder-focused project delivery. She leads and mentors early-career developers while managing both Agile and waterfall projects, adapting frameworks (SCRUM, XP, SAFe) to fit team needs and communication styles. Technically fluent across EPICS, LabVIEW, Python, Java, C/C++ and Eclipse, she still contributes to architecture, code reviews and operational support for cyber-physical instrument systems. Her work spans international collaborations and conference presentations, and she routinely balances engineering trade-offs to choose the most appropriate language or tool for the task. Outside of formal roles she recruits, supports first-line operations, and volunteers across IT coordination groups, reflecting a pragmatic, service-oriented approach to enabling science.
