David Maidment

I am a Head of Engineering who has been building software professionally for the last 15 years, and as a hobby for the last 25 years. I have held roles where I have been responsible for software engineering, DevOps / system administration, application security, architecture, long-term strategy, line management and handling individuals' career progression.

I have worked in small and large companies alike, building everything from simple websites to complex CRM and analytics systems. I also have experience of leading digital transformations, implementing tech to increase organisational efficiencies, and introducing modern development practices to teams (such as cloud architecture, CI/CD and microservices).

I have many years of engineering experience (and the stories that go with it!) to share, but particularly enjoy mentoring those who want to improve their soft skills as they progress in their career, as well as those who are taking their first steps into management.
