Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOwen Gillespie is a versatile software engineer with 11 years’ experience building accessible, dynamic web frontends and operating cloud infrastructure at scale, currently contributing at Kraken after senior engineering work at the BBC. A generalist by inclination, he moves fluidly between front-end polish and backend/ops concerns rather than being tied to a single stack, and he pairs technical craft with attention to the human side of engineering. Trained in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science at the University of Edinburgh, he brings an analytic mindset to practical systems design and team collaboration. Based in Edinburgh, he has a track record of shipping production software across startups and large organisations and an appetite for solving awkward cross-disciplinary problems that sit between UX, performance and reliability.
