Alistair Stead is the former CTO at Inviqa. Alistair has been crafting software in multiple stacks for nearly two decades and has been a technical advisor to organisations such as Virgin and the United Nations' World Food Programme to deliver software that matters.
Alistair has a keen interest in development culture, practices and tooling and has great respect for engineers who commit to challenging their understanding of problem domains and constantly strive for improvement. As is the case with many engineers, Alistair is a tinkerer. He likes to tease things apart to understand the core of a problem; putting them back in exactly the same order to serve the same purpose is optional.
