Greg Goodwin
Senior Software Engineer & Technical Lead
I design and deliver scalable identity, cloud, and platform architectures.
About Me
I am a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead with over a decade of experience designing resilient, high-scale systems. My career has evolved from full-stack development to architectural leadership, where I specialize in modernization strategies that don't just "move to the cloud" but transform how organizations deliver software.
My core strength lies in bridging the gap between complex infrastructure and developer experience. Whether architecting identity management systems for millions of users, leading massive cloud migrations, or re-engineering CI/CD pipelines for velocity and security, I focus on sustainable, long-term impact.
I believe in pragmatism over dogma. Technology serves the business, but excellent engineering ensures the business survives the future.

Simplicity is the
Ultimate Sophistication.
In a world obsessed with complexity, I advocate for boring technology. The most effective systems are those that are predictable, observable, and easy to reason about.
My philosophy centers on evolutionary architecture. We don't build perfect systems; we build systems that can adapt to change without collapsing under their own weight. This means prioritizing modularity, clear boundaries, and developer ergonomics as much as raw performance.
"Code is a liability, not an asset. The less code we write to solve a problem, the better."
Let's Build Something
Impactful.
I'm always open to discussing new opportunities, architectural challenges, or just chatting about the future of tech.
