Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Morrison is a Senior Software Engineer with 14 years’ experience building full-stack and data platforms, currently focused on high-rate robotic telemetry and serverless event-driven pipelines. He blends architecture and hands-on development—particularly Python (Django, DRF, FastAPI), AWS serverless tooling, and Infrastructure as Code—to turn complex telemetry and web requirements into reliable, production systems. His background spans startups, consultancy and corporate R&D, from selling software to oil majors to running a business-critical data platform for surgical robots. Known for clear technical communication and pragmatic leadership, he improves teams by teaching, documenting and leading by example. An early entrepreneurial streak runs through his work—he’s founded a consultancy, shipped paying web products and built training courses—so he pairs engineering depth with customer-focused delivery. Based in Cambridge, he brings quick learning and enthusiasm for software, devops-style tooling, and practical solutions to challenging data problems.
