Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Roper is a pragmatic tech lead with 11 years of experience building cloud-native systems and leading engineering teams across media, sports streaming, and consultancy. Currently heading technical delivery for Reach plc's Content Annotation team, he blends hands-on full‑stack development (C#, Node.js, Go) with container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure-as-code. He has a track record of architecting microservices, mentoring engineers, and running a software consultancy as a former managing director, so he balances strategic thinking with delivery focus. Comfortable in polyglot environments (Python, Rust, Terraform, AWS/Azure), he especially enjoys making complex deployment and scaling challenges routine. Colleagues know him as a “doer who thinks and thinker who does” who prefers shipping pragmatic solutions over theoretical perfection.
