The UK organisation for the business of Open Technology

Rachael Wonnacott is Global Head of Machine Learning and Applied AI Engineering. With over a decade dedicated to platform engineering in the enterprise, she champions platforms that empower teams through thoughtful abstraction, eliminating undifferentiated heavy lifting so developers can focus on solving business problems. She believes organisations are sociotechnical systems that should be architected as such. With a background in astrophysics, she brings a scientific rigour to her architecture through residuality, using random simulation to stress-test software structures at design time. Rachael is a public advocate for open-source, an LFX mentor, co-founder of FastFlowConf, and a regular speaker at KubeCon, CloudNativeCon, QCon, and LeadDev.
