Senior🎓
Top SchoolNeil Windelinckx is a Software Development Lead with 12+ years of experience designing and delivering high-performance big data processing solutions, currently leading a team at dunnhumby. He combines low-level C/C++ engineering for proprietary data pipelines with Scala and Spark application development, and applies cloud-native tooling such as GCP and Kubernetes to productionise data workflows. Comfortable across languages including Python and C#, he brings a pragmatic, systems-first approach shaped by an early scientific background at QinetiQ and long tenure in retail analytics. Known for steering cross-functional teams through Agile practices, he focuses on reliability and performance at scale rather than flashy analytics front-ends. Based in Stockport and grounded in a Computer Science degree from Nottingham, he favors engineering trade-offs that keep complex processing maintainable and auditable.
