Steven Trotter is a Principal Engineer and Architect with over a decade of hands-on experience building cloud-native platforms and CI/CD pipelines using Python, Node.js, Rust and IaC across AWS and Azure. He combines deep engineering practice with strategic platform leadership, having led SRE and platform capability teams and consulted on security, software and platform design for enterprise clients. His PhD in Pure Mathematics and MSc in Theoretical Physics give him a rare mathematical rigor for solving complex systems and optimising reliability at scale. Based in the Malvern Hills, he blends low-level systems experience (C++ roots) with modern DevOps tooling and a pragmatic, pragmatic focus on automation. Notably, he moves comfortably between architecture and implementation, contributing across languages and runtimes rather than specialising in a single stack.
