Top SchoolTama Waddell is a Melbourne-based consultant with 13 years of software engineering experience and a 7-year track record transforming teams across fintech, telecoms, government and enterprise customers. He combines hands-on technical leadership—improving performance, CI/CD and cloud/DevOps practices—with strong people skills, known for initiating difficult conversations, mentoring, and cultivating inclusive team cultures. Tama has led cross-functional teams at Telstra Purple, Readify and Cointree, delivering architecture, portfolio systems and performance improvements (including a 45% asset support increase at Cointree).
