About
One practice. End to end.
Cloudbuilder is principal-led by design, not by default.
The practice
Cloudbuilder is a productised data platform practice. It was built to solve a specific problem: senior buyers in regulated industries need principal-level delivery — the kind where the person who designed the architecture is the same person who builds it, runs it, and hands it over. That model doesn’t exist at scale inside most consultancies. It exists here because the practice is structured around it.
The founder
Lee Picton FRSA MBCS has spent fifteen years building data platforms that enterprises actually use — Azure, Databricks, Lakehouse — in financial services, aviation, automotive, and public sector. The engagements include British Car Auctions, Castle Trust Bank, Heathrow Airport, and David Lloyd Leisure. The Cloudbuilder practice exists to do principal-level work.
