Developer. Runner.
Another event?
Go on then.

I'm Bradley - a software engineer who spends time building cloud platforms, tinkering with side projects, and training for events I probably shouldn’t have signed up for.

About Me

Engineer, athlete, and problem solver based in Wales.

Bradley

Wales, United Kingdom

I’m a Lead Engineer at ROCK where I design and scale platforms and cloud-native systems. I’ve led the development of a multi-tenant internal HR & operations platform, architected AWS-based infrastructure, and introduced AI-driven automation across internal workflows. My focus sits at the intersection of product thinking, scalable architecture, and intelligent automation. I enjoy building systems that reduce friction, increase operational efficiency, and unlock new commercial opportunities.
