Simon Davy Email & Phone Number

Infrastructure focused developer with 20 years of experience in many tools, with specific expertise with Python, Javascript, PostgreSQL, and SQlite, as well as broader processes like CI, deployment pipelines, cloud orchestration, telemetry, and operating complex production systems.My focus has been on infrastructure and operations on whole variety of web applications. This includes building developer-friendly tooling that integrates operational concerns from the ground up (e.g deployability, observability, security). This naturally extends to building and maintaining CI and deployment pipelines with orchestration that enable teams to move quickly whilst still able to DTRT operationally. I have also taken a lead on incident response, include retrospectives and prioritising redesign to reducing incident frequency. I have lead initiatives in multiple organisations to improve and integrate telemetry and observability, training colleagues and building it in to regular practices.I really enjoy building things that users love to use, and love engaging with users regularly to receive feedback and deepen my understanding of the domain. All of my roles have had a significant user facing aspect to the work, which has also been the best part of the job for me. I have worked as a generalist in smaller companies, and specialist in larger ones, and enjoy both extremes.

Listed skills include Python, Javascript, Infrastructure As Code, Software Development, and 20 others.
