Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Mynott is a seasoned Go programmer with over two decades of hands-on experience across high-pressure sectors including media, banking, e-commerce and government, now focused on backend and systems work from London. He combines deep UNIX, TCP/IP and systems-administration expertise with practical DevOps and cloud experience—delivering scalable Go microservices, deployment tooling and secure data pipelines for organisations like BT, the ONS and Deutsche Bank. Steve has a long history of modernising legacy systems and architecting resilient middleware, from decomposing monoliths into AWS-backed microservices to building encrypted, signed message workflows for maritime compliance. An active open-source contributor, he has helped make the Raku ecosystem and MoarVM more portable across BSDs and ARM, showing a knack for cross-platform portability and low-level build engineering. Equally comfortable leading teams or “getting his hands dirty” on the command line, he emphasises test-driven development, change control and clear customer-facing documentation.
