Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Gallagher is a Senior Principal Software Engineer based in London with 11 years of recent experience building full-stack, enterprise-grade systems across Java, Golang and modern front-end frameworks. Currently leading DevOps practices for a Data Retention team at Mimecast, he blends infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, AWS) with a strong background in DDD microservices, CQRS/event sourcing and reactive/functional JavaScript. A long-time Clojure enthusiast who equally enjoys hands-on enterprise Java, Patrick has driven technical delivery and led teams at large organisations including the UK Ministry of Justice, Barclays and Mimecast. His career spans both deep backend systems (payments, location services, decision-support) and polished SPAs, reflecting a rare mix of systems thinking and front-end craftsmanship. He pairs an MSc (Distinction) in Computer Science from UCL with an early grounding in historical studies, which surfaces in his attention to context and pragmatic, well-documented design decisions.
