👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Moran is a pragmatic Principal Engineer with 13+ years of experience building scalable, data-driven systems at companies like Skyscanner and Amazon, and a knack for choosing the right tool for the job—from Java services to Unix one-liners. He combines hands-on engineering (Java, SQL, HTTP/REST, Unix) with product-minded thinking around experimentation, GDPR-aware ML feature pipelines, and cost-optimisation of marketing tech. At Skyscanner he led and evolved Browse and Kaleidoscope systems, introduced rigorous metrics and A/B practices, and moved services safely into AWS while coaching teams through change. Based in Edinburgh, he also bootsrapped and grows local developer communities—organising MLOps and Rust meetups that regularly draw 40+ attendees—showing a hidden strength in community building and knowledge sharing. Outside work he pursues photography, hill running and Lego, reflecting a blend of technical precision and creative curiosity.
