Top SchoolRichard Henwood is a software engineer with nine years of experience building reliable internal tools and infrastructure for payment and cloud platforms. He holds an MEng in Computer Science from Cornell and began his career as a full-stack .NET developer at Mastercard before shifting into DevOps and CI/CD engineering roles using Jenkins, Docker, Chef, Python and the HashiCorp stack. At Stripe he focused on tooling for high availability and disaster recovery, and he now continues platform work at Sierra, bringing practical expertise in automation, modernization and scaling.
