Top SchoolLuke Hackett is a Principal Software Engineer with 11 years of experience architecting and delivering large-scale, resilient cloud-native systems at Sky. He has a proven track record turning monolithic and batch systems into event-driven, highly available architectures that handle hundreds of millions of monthly requests. Comfortable across the stack, Luke led migrations from VMs to Kubernetes, built CI/CD pipelines, and created shared internal libraries while mentoring engineers and shaping hiring and roadmap decisions.

An understated strength is his knack for operationalising test suites and non-functional testing early in projects, ensuring systems scale without surprise.
