Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Brock is a Principal Software Engineer based in London with 15+ years in cloud and 25+ years in infrastructure and Linux system administration, focused on delivering resilient, cost-efficient platforms. He has led large-scale cloud migrations and platform builds—reducing costs by as much as 66%, raising uptime to 99.99%, and automating fleet-wide provisioning to cut routine maintenance time by ~90%. Equally comfortable in AWS, GCP and on-prem environments, he blends Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes and CI/CD tooling to turn legacy systems into auto-scaled, observable services. His work spans media-heavy platforms, e-commerce and public sector systems, often adding bespoke automation (from Nagios and CloudWatch dashboards to Lambda@Edge image conversion) to solve tricky edge cases. Known for pragmatic reliability engineering, he pairs deep hands-on skills with architecture reviews and mentoring to embed repeatable, auditable practices. A music-technology graduate who pivoted into ops, he brings a curious, systems-first mindset that surfaces clever practical fixes few engineers notice.
