Summary
Neil Shadrach is a veteran software consultant and owner with over 30 years of hands-on experience delivering mission-critical web and backend systems, primarily on Linux/UNIX. He has led and implemented complex projects for governmental bodies and enterprise clients—most notably Companies House, BBC World Service, YOOX Net‑A‑Porter and NHS Jobs—shipping bilingual, Unicode-aware forms, microservices APIs, and high-volume warehouse and filing systems. Deeply experienced in Perl (Mojolicious, Catalyst, Moose), relational and document databases (Postgres, Oracle, MongoDB), and CI/CD practices, he pairs pragmatic engineering with strong domain knowledge in compliance, logistics and public-sector workflows. His work often touches data integration at scale—ActiveMQ/ESB, ElasticSearch, Hadoop imports—and includes support and operational responsibilities on production systems. Based in Wales, he runs Corryn Cyf as a long-standing consultancy, preferring focused engagements that modernize legacy platforms and simplify user journeys. A background in electrical engineering gives him an engineer’s rigour for systems thinking and a track record of turning regulatory complexity into usable, auditable software.
