Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Wild is a senior software engineer with over two decades of commercial programming experience and nine years in his current senior/consultancy trajectory, currently delivering Java and React services for HM Passport Office via Equal Experts. A polyglot practitioner comfortable in Java, Kotlin, Groovy, C and C#, he moves easily between hands-on delivery, technical leadership and coaching, and has a track record of modernising legacy systems and driving TDD and DevOps practices. He has operated at all levels from C-suite advising to pair-programming juniors, shaping consultancy offerings at Codurance and building resilient CI/CD and infrastructure automation at Travis Perkins. Early career work in high-throughput C and Oracle PL/SQL systems taught him to prioritise performance and observability, while his later roles emphasise pragmatic migration and retirement of legacy platforms. Based in Rugby, England, he combines deep systems experience with a practical, delivery-first mindset and a knack for translating opaque legacy behaviour into maintainable, testable designs. An unstated strength is his history of independently learning and introducing new technologies (from SOAP web services to cloud migration) whenever projects demanded it.
