Paul Ward

I’m Paul Ward, a UK-based Architect at a software house in Manchester. I have a development background and specialise in cloud-native data platforms, particularly using AWS services like MSK, Flink, Glue, DMS, and Redshift. My focus is on real-time streaming, data engineering, and designing scalable architectures, especially within the gaming industry. I’m passionate about clean architecture, system governance, and bridging the gap between solution architecture and data teams. Outside of work, I’m into retro 80s gaming, DIY projects, and Lovers Rock reggae.
