Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Doherty is a Senior Research Software Engineer with over 18 years of experience building large-scale, data-intensive systems for research and industry, including petabyte-scale metadata services for the ATLAS experiment at CERN and cloud-scalable epidemiological models for government policy. He combines deep Java and Scala expertise with hands-on HPC/Grid, Spark, Akka and JClouds work to deliver reproducible scientific workflows and secure service-oriented architectures. Thomas has led architecture and design teams in telecoms and research, applying RUP/UML, Agile/TDD and rigorous code-review practices to bridge scientific modelling and production-grade software. Notably, he has implemented end-to-end ecosystems—web clients, middleware and scientific software—that scale to national-level simulations, and he brings practical security experience from integrating VOMS/PERMIS and JVM cryptography. Based in Strathaven, Scotland, he pairs an applied physics background with an MSc in IT, making him fluent at translating domain science into maintainable, high-performance code.
