👤
SeniorRicky Walker is a seasoned public sector technology leader with 11+ years of professional experience and a 20+ year engineering pedigree, currently serving as Public Sector CTO at Kainos where he oversees some of the UK’s largest digital services. His career blends hands-on architecture and technical leadership roles across government bodies (DVSA, DWP), major financial and media organisations, and consultancy, giving him deep experience in delivering secure, scalable public-facing systems.

Based in Hull, he brings particular strength in translating complex policy-driven requirements into auditable, production-ready platforms. A pragmatic engineer at heart, he’s as comfortable leading cross-functional teams as he is diving into architecture decisions that reduce operational risk.
