Senior🎓
Top SchoolNigel Williams is a Senior Principal Developer based in Melbourne with 26 years of engineering experience and a 20+ year track record of architecting and operating scalable web and cloud systems. He blends hands-on development (Python, Ruby, Elixir, JS) with infrastructure expertise (Terraform, AWS, Ansible/Chef/Puppet) to drive migrations from legacy VMs and colocation to cloud-native, highly available services. Nigel has repeatedly led teams through platform modernisation, capacity planning and adoption of infrastructure-as-code while mentoring junior engineers and shaping ops/development practices. Notably, he architected a globally distributed replacement API at Yubico and has driven large-scale cloud transitions at Marketplacer, demonstrating both delivery ownership and cross-team leadership. He is not currently seeking new roles and brings a pragmatic, systems-thinking approach informed by deep operational experience.
