Summary
Markos Charatzas is a Senior Engineer based in London with over a decade of hands-on experience building and scaling mobile and backend systems, particularly iOS/macOS apps and Java Enterprise services. He has led mobile engineering at large organisations and startups alike—shaping architecture and delivery for products at Capital One, Tesco Bank, Soldo and early-stage companies where he built teams, CI/CD pipelines and release processes from scratch. His strengths span performance and reliability troubleshooting (notably shipping fixes for rendering and memory issues in a production Mac app), security-aware mobile engineering, and turning outsourced projects into mature in-house platforms. Equally comfortable mentoring engineers and making hard architectural trade-offs, he has a track record of hiring and retaining high-performing teams and shipping complex multi-platform releases. A tinkerer at heart, he also created Windmill, an open-source continuous delivery platform for iPhone apps, showing an entrepreneurial streak alongside enterprise pedigree.
