Summary
Ruaidhrí Mc Donnell is a technology leader and founder with two decades of hands-on coding experience and nine years in senior architecture and executive roles, currently serving as Co-Founder & CTO of WrkSense where he builds AI assistants for recruitment. He combines deep cloud-native and DevOps expertise with a pragmatic "take responsibility and get things done (right)" ethos, having led teams from two-person squads to programs involving 200+ engineers. His career includes architecting globally highly available systems that sustained 100k r/s and materially increased revenue, and guiding large engineering organisations on platform, cost and delivery strategy. Ruaidhrí is fluent across .NET, C#, Azure and AWS, and runs small consultancies that span the full SDLC, IoT and cloud architectures. He’s equally comfortable in startup scrappy mode and in shaping enterprise technical roadmaps, and brings an unusual blend of operator grit and long-term strategic trade-off thinking.
