Andrew Larcombe, Head of Technology

What’s your background?

My background is in all things digital – including software engineering and architecture, leading development teams, delivery management, and agile training.

I’ve worked with clients in the private and public sector from early-stage startups through to critical national services supporting EU Exit continuity and the Covid-19 pandemic response.

I also have a degree in History and Archaeology if you want to talk about trowels or digging things out of the ground.

Describe your role at Difrent.

My role at Difrent is to head up and build out our permanent engineering capability of architects, data scientists, developers, and testers.

We’re building a team that are both technically astute and who are driven by outcome-oriented value-led delivery.

Who are you outside of Difrent?

Outside Difrent you’ll find me hanging out with my family. On a bike. A countryside walk. Behind a bow and arrow. Or making beer. Or cheese.

Who would you invite to dinner, dead or alive?

I’d invite physicist Carlos Rovelli and the author Philp K Dick to talk about how quantum physics is stranger than fiction. Also,  director JJ Abrams to nerd out about Star Wars and Lost.
