Edward Atkin

Data Platform Engineer specialising in Python, automation, and scalable backend architecture. I build the robust, automated systems that allow other teams to move faster.

About Me

I am a Data Platform Engineer focused on removing toil through intelligent automation. I architect end-to-end data platforms, build bespoke internal tooling, and standardise engineering practices. My philosophy is simple: if a task needs doing twice, it needs a script. If it needs doing three times, it needs a platform.

Projects & Writing

My primary portfolio and technical blog live here:

→ edwardatkin.co.uk

I write deep-dives into engineering problems, creative coding experiments (like solving Advent of Code in x86 Assembly), and technical analysis:

→ Read: Coding Heaven

Core Stack & Interests

  • Professional Focus: Python (FastAPI/Flask), PostgreSQL, GCP.
  • Architecture: Modular, test-driven, and designed for "lazy" maintenance (i.e., it shouldn't break at 3am).
  • Side Projects:
    • Algorithmic Trading: A Raspberry Pi-based betting bot using MLP architecture and the Betfair API.
    • Low-Level Computing: 6502 Assembly and Fortran

Ask Me About

  • Automating complex workflows to the point of obsolescence.
  • Why a well-structured CLI beats a GUI for developer tooling.
  • Circus skills (Juggling, Unicycling, Rolla Bolla).
