Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Morgan is a Senior Principal Software Engineer based in London with two decades of experience turning messy, high-stakes data into actionable systems across telecoms, enterprise monitoring, and cloud platforms. He is a full-stack expert on Splunk Enterprise now working within Cisco, blending hands-on SPL/dashboard mastery with product strategy and architecture leadership. Richard has been the go-to technical authority for complex EMEA accounts, routinely travelling to rescue deployments and shape core engineering roadmaps. His background spans low-level C++ and distributed CORBA systems through Java and big-data integrations, giving him rare depth from device-level activation to cloud-scale observability. Colleagues know him as a one-stop shop for stability, performance and cost-optimisation insights—often uncovering systemic configuration patterns that materially reduce cloud spend.
