Ronan Quigley is a Senior Backend Engineer with eight years’ experience building and scaling resilient systems, currently driving backend work at Monzo after a successful principal engineering tenure at Findmypast. He has repeatedly delivered measurable impact—leading a 12x capacity boost for entitlements, cutting front-end build times from 60s to 1s, and migrating services to Go for 3x lower latency and drastically reduced resource use. Comfortable across DevOps, Kubernetes, and ML pipelines, he’s turned half a million newspaper images into searchable text with LLM-assisted extraction and increased model throughput through smarter GPU sharing. A collaborative mentor and on-call first responder, he blends product-focused engineering with hands-on operational ownership. Based in Edinburgh, he brings game-development roots and a BAFTA-adjacent studio co-directorship that hint at a creative, user-centered approach to technical problem solving.
