Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Harrison is a senior engineering manager with 10+ years of experience leading cross-organisational technical strategy, incident response and people development across companies including Cloudflare and Spotify. He has run large backend and platform efforts—shaping media analysis pipelines that fingerprint and classify vast volumes of audio at Spotify and leading API Shield / Gateway work at Cloudflare—translating complex data and security needs into reliable, production-scale systems. Tim combines hands-on engineering roots (MEng in Electronic & Electrical Engineering plus Makers Academy software training) with proven delivery of high-impact services used by millions and cost-saving systems that saved Spotify multimillions monthly. A pragmatic coach and talent developer, he has grown teams from scratch, enabled managers’ first promotions, and operated effectively in hiring- and promotion-constrained environments. Less obvious: he blends broadcast-grade systems experience from the BBC and Siemens with modern ML-driven platform work, giving him uncommon depth across legacy and cloud-native landscapes.
