Top SchoolPaul Michaels is a seasoned technology leader and hands-on engineer with a career that began on a ZX Spectrum and professional experience spanning since 1997, now serving as Head of Technology for HX Hurtigruten Expeditions. He has led engineering organisations through scaling, performance and cloud migrations, most recently as Head of Development at musicMagpie and previously as Lead Developer at KPMG UK building Azure-native learning platforms and React-based apps. Paul combines deep Microsoft-stack expertise (C#, .NET, Azure) with proven delivery of agile teams, deployments into new markets, and integrating complex systems across WCF, WPF and modern web stacks. He is a published author on software architecture, a regular speaker, founder/co-organiser of the MiniHack developer meetup, and an active presence in developer communities such as Stack Overflow, GitHub and the Azure blog. Based in East Devon, he brings a practical blend of senior leadership and continued hands-on coding curiosity that stretches from legacy ERP work to cloud-native architectures. An interesting aside: his programming journey started on Spectrum BASIC in primary school and has evolved into shaping platform strategy and developer culture across multiple industries.
