Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKieren Beckett is a Principal Engineer based in Newport, Wales with 11 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, AWS, and Python, currently leading infrastructure and delivery at Simple. He built and ran his own consultancy for nearly eight years, helping organisations modernise cloud operations and CI/CD before stepping into senior engineering leadership roles. Earlier positions as VP Engineering and Technical Lead give him deep experience scaling teams and production systems across telecoms and commerce. Kieren blends practical, code-first tooling with architecture-level thinking, often favouring automation and observability to reduce operational toil. Comfortable shipping both strategy and scripts, he pairs a Computer Science degree from Warwick with a pragmatic focus on reliability and developer experience. A quietly prolific problem-solver, he tends to surface long-term fixes rather than short-term patches.
