Senior🎓
Top SchoolSzabolcs Palmer is a Senior Architect in Platform Engineering with 12 years of experience helping startups bootstrap development and infrastructure while guiding larger organisations to embed DevSecOps and security into the software lifecycle. He has led platform refactors, microservices extraction, IaC adoption and private package management, and has hands-on experience modernising cloud infrastructure and containerised runtimes. His background spans roles from CTO and Head of Media Products to principal consultant, giving him a rare blend of strategic leadership and deep implementation experience across DevOps, SRE and data engineering. Based in Canberra, he pairs practical system-hardening skills (email deliverability, security hardening) with mentoring and process improvements like Kanban, CI pipelines and TDD. A pragmatic problem-solver, he often surfaces overlooked operational gaps—such as private package governance and runtime consistency—early in engagements, accelerating secure, production-ready delivery.
