π€ I'm David Dolph aka David A. Symons.
Driven by a sincere passion for people, problem-solving, technology and engineering, my work spans a multitude of industries from global conglomerates in travel (Expedia), connected cars (Toyota), video games (Riot Games), to early-stage FinTech start-ups (Open Banking, Banked), scale-ups (Dream11), and the worldβs largest supermarket (Tesco).
I have been an Operations, Systems, DevOps, and Platform Engineer. I've served as Lead, Head, Principal, VP, and CTO. Iβve founded and failed, built and scaled teams from 0β1, delivered across start-ups, scale-ups, enterprises and multinationals. From data centers to cloud, containers to Kubernetes, kaizen to customers β my focus has always been on delivering effective, efficient and excellence in engineering.
