Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOwen Williams is a Senior Software Engineer based in Cardiff with 12 years of experience building cloud-native systems, ML pipelines, and embedded control software. He has led Python and ML efforts at DrDoctor and deployed online and batch models at Admiral using Google Vertex AI while shaping MLOps strategy. Comfortable across Java, Python, TypeScript and DevOps platforms, he has moved telecom and enterprise products to Azure/AWS/Kubernetes and shipped full-stack services from research to production. Outside of cloud and ML, Owen contributes low-level motor control and sensor integration to the popular Arduino-FOC project, reflecting deep embedded and robotics tinkering. A lifelong learner who cycles and runs around Wales, he blends hands-on hardware curiosity with pragmatic software engineering and team leadership. His background in electromechanical engineering gives him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective that helps bridge firmware, control algorithms and scalable cloud deployments.
