Ahmet Soormally Head of Research
I’ve have been working with technology since the early 2000s, and more specifically with web technologies for more than 15 years from eCommerce through to Healthcare. Before joining Tyk in 2017, I was an early adopter of Kubernetes and was actively involved with migrating workloads to the cloud. As a Consulting Engineer at Tyk, I gained deep insights into the challenges and needs of many of Tyk’s enterprise customers. My team and I work on initiatives which help Tyk remain both innovative and highly regarded as a leader in the API Management space.
I am fascinated by APIs, with a particular interest in REST, gRPC and am taking a warming to GraphQL as I can see a lot of potential in terms of the next-level developer experience it has to offer. I am also interested in OAuth2 / OpenID Connect, as well as GitOps workflows.
David Garvey Technical Director
I’ve been working with technology for over 20 years, with most of my experience in the area of web development. This path naturally led me to become both a creator and consumer of APIs, where I worked with them across countless projects.
This has given me a broad understanding of APIs, from technical requirements to commercial drivers, as well as a perspective on how APIs have evolved over time.
My interests cover a broad spectrum of the API landscape, including architecture and design, the practicalities of operating an API, and the API consumer experience. Ultimately, it’s the use of APIs to solve problems and act as a platform for innovation which I find most compelling. I enjoy digging into topics, especially if I can get hands-on and create something.
