Liam W.
Senior Java & Spring Boot Developer | Architecture | CI/CD | DevOps
⭐️ Senior Java developer, architect and DevOps engineer, 15+ years, with a typical 20% to 50% improvement in DORA metrics across 20+ enterprise projects. In 2017 I co-founded Traffic Parrot, a service virtualization product used by Fortune 500 companies, and led its architecture. 🛠️ What I take on - Java and Spring Boot development: features, integrations, upgrades and the tests that keep them honest, in your codebase and your pipeline. - Architecture and API design: reviews, decisions written down and defended, and the delivery metrics that follow. - CI/CD and DevOps: pipelines that catch mistakes early, builds that stay fast, releases that stay boring. - Technical writing: 150+ Baeldung articles edited; published on InfoQ. 🎓 First-class MSci in Mathematics and Computer Science, Imperial College London. 👥 Who it's for: CTOs, engineering leads and founders who want senior hands on a Java codebase, an architecture decision made properly, or a pipeline that holds, without a large consultancy's overhead. 💬 How I work: fixed-scope projects or weekly engagements, remote, UK hours with US overlap. Ask in a message and you get a straight answer about fit, including when I'm not the right call.
