Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Lloyd is a seasoned Site Reliability Engineer with nine years of cloud-native and payments platform experience, currently shaping multi-cloud (AWS/GCP) PCI-compliant infrastructure and observability at Dojo. He combines deep Golang and Python development with Terraform/OpenTofu, Kubernetes (GKE/EKS) and Istio to build high-performance, multi-region services that handle millions of transactions daily. As a former Tech Lead, he has led teams of ~10 engineers, owned roadmaps and operational excellence, and introduced GitOps, ArgoCD, and CI/CD practices to accelerate delivery. His practical background in data platforms and large-scale ETL (Deutsche Bank, River Island) informs a strong systems-thinking approach to reliability, security and cost trade-offs. Notably, he’s built custom Go load balancers, improved terminal latency through DNS optimisations, and authored Halfpipe—an open-source Golang data integration toolkit—demonstrating a pattern of solving infrastructure problems by shipping tooling.
