Summary
Max Woolterton is a Tech Lead at Palantir with a decade of hands-on experience delivering data-driven and cloud-native solutions, grounded in an MSci in Mathematics and Computer Science from Durham (1st Class, 83/100). He progressed rapidly through roles at Palantir—from Forward Deployed Software Engineer to Tech Lead—after internships and consulting work where he led backend development, ML forecasting projects, and open-source pipeline integrations. Max has a proven track record of shipping production systems early (e.g., leading a backend delivered three weeks ahead at IBM’s Extreme Blue) and translating research-grade models into operational products. Comfortable across stacks from GraphQL and Node.js to deep learning and AWS, he also has teaching experience mentoring students in C, Java and Haskell. Based in Norwich, he combines strong technical leadership with a habit of building practical tooling and reproducible prototypes—see his portfolio at github.com/shadowbourne.
