Sebastian Ovide is a pragmatic technical team lead and engineering manager with 11 years of experience building and scaling teams, stabilising platforms, and making delivery predictable through clear ownership, observability, and robust security practices. He has repeatedly turned slow or fragile delivery into fast, reliable outcomes—at SO-SURE he cut lead times by 90% and customer complaints by 95% while driving an FCA-level cybersecurity transformation. Comfortable shifting between hands-on delivery and strategic advising, he’s helped startups and scaleups launch products to millions and advised founders on product, team design, and GenAI implications. Sebastian combines deep engineering roots (from low-latency mapping systems to cloud platform work) with coaching and transformational leadership training, enabling tech leads to become effective managers. Based in St Albans, UK, he’s open to senior Engineering Manager or Head of Engineering roles and offers pro-bono mentoring to support emerging leaders.
