Laurence Evans is a Staff Software Engineer based in Brisbane with 12 years of experience building and operating cloud-native .NET platforms for retail, logistics and high-availability SaaS. He blends backend and DevOps expertise—designing services, CI/CD pipelines, Terraform/IaC and Kubernetes deployments—to help teams ship multiple daily production releases. Laurence has led cross-team framework rollouts and platform automation at scale, from grocery-delivery startup Milkrun to managing thousands of Octopus cloud instances. He pairs a security-first mindset (formal security roles early in his career and a Bachelor in IT with a security major) with a practical focus on performance and standards. Notably, he drove deterministic build and automated lottery draw verification work in regulated environments and introduced end-to-end integration testing that dramatically increased deployment cadence. Outside work he’s a self-described hardcore gamer, which informs his interest in realtime systems and gamified product features.
