Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Pilgrim is a Director and Oracle Java Champion with 13+ years of hands-on and leadership experience building cloud-native Java platforms, microservices, and legacy-modernisation efforts across finance, public sector and enterprise clients. He combines principal-engineer depth—Java, Spring Boot, Kotlin, Scala, Kubernetes, Helm and AWS/Azure—with people leadership: coaching squads, running technical communities, and hiring/interviewing dozens of engineers. His recent work includes leading JVM practice for HMCTS, migrating observability stacks (Grafana v9→v10), and delivering governance and cross-functional dashboards while managing a five-person squad. Equally comfortable in code and architecture, he authors training material (Kotlin TDD) and a Packt-published Java EE book, showing a long-standing commitment to developer education. Based in Milton Keynes and open to contracts from June 2026, he prefers remote roles and brings a pragmatic blend of consultancy, training and delivery focus that accelerates teams through complex cloud migrations.
