Summary
Rudolf Horvath is a hands-on engineering leader with 10+ years of experience modernising high-volume finance and retail platforms, specialising in migrating monoliths to event-driven, cloud-native architectures. He has led large teams and multi-team transformations at organisations like Marks & Spencer, Worldpay and Planet, delivering Kubernetes-based migrations, Kafka-led EDAs, and measurable improvements in observability and delivery cadence. Equally comfortable setting architectural direction and getting into the weeds with engineers, he champions DDD, CQRS and BDD to improve product–engineering alignment and long-term code quality. His work consistently balances operational cost, reliability and scalability—evident in real-time transaction processing and auditing prototypes that informed broader platform strategy. Based in London, he combines enterprise-scale delivery experience with a practical track record of building the platform capabilities and governance that enable durable engineering culture.
