Hi, it's me, I'm Duggie

Director of Engineering | Principal Architect

Hands-on technology leader building regulated cloud, data, and AI platforms.


๐Ÿ”น Profile

I lead and scale engineering organisations while remaining technically engaged in architecture, platform design, and delivery at enterprise scale. My focus is on cloud-native systems, distributed platforms, and production-ready data and AI workloads โ€” particularly within regulated environments.

My production work lives in private repositories, owned by my employer or clients. This space reflects reference material, architectural examples, and insights that align with leadership-level technical thinking. You won't find daily feature commits. I am a low-volume contributor.

Personality Check

I recently took a DISC personality assessment, which identified me as "a calm, rigorous leader who can also take charge and bring people with them".

Natural base: steady, careful, high-trust operator. Leadership mode: assertive, visible, persuasive direction-setter.

  • Very strong S (Steadiness), strong C (Conscientious) - dependable, disciplined, calm, thoughtful, supportive, quality-driven
  • Some D (Dominance)- more decisive, more assertive, stronger boundaries, clearer authority
  • And some I (Influence) - more visible, more persuasive, more energising, better at broad influence

๐Ÿš€ Focus Areas

  • Engineering leadership at scale
  • AWS-native and serverless architecture
  • Event-driven and distributed systems
  • Data platforms and ML/GenAI in production
  • Platform engineering and developer enablement
  • Cost, reliability, security, and operational excellence
