Tech Lead
Flo provides recruitment software, payroll, back-office services, and invoice financing to UK temporary recruitment agencies across healthcare, education, industrial, and construction.
The estate was 180 VMs in AWS managed with Ansible, with CI/CD pipelines in front of a Laravel platform on PHP 8.1.
I was hired to move development in-house, replacing a 7-person agency team with 3 internal engineers whom I helped hire and then onboarded. I took ownership of CI/CD, deployment workflows, and dev environments, and ran the team day to day through standups, regular 1:1s, code review, and mentoring, supporting one engineer from junior to senior. Regular stakeholder meetings kept the business informed and brought its decisions back to the team.
