Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Lee is a pragmatic lead engineer based in Wellington with 15 years of software development experience and a decade of hands-on delivery in banking and financial services. He combines deep .NET and full-stack expertise—spanning Angular, React, Java/Springboot, microservices, AWS and Kubernetes—with strong platform stewardship and SRE-minded monitoring improvements. Philip excels at rebuilding and modernising aging stacks (migration to .NET Core, containers, CI/CD, CDN adoption) while growing teams and mentoring senior engineers to take ownership. He’s comfortable diving into code when needed but focuses on being a force-multiplier: shaping technical strategy, managing complex stakeholder environments, and embedding sustainable practices. A detail that often goes unnoticed is his history of practical ops-focused wins (Dynatrace-led alerting, cache offload via Akamai) that measurably reduced platform toil.
