I lead engineering teams that keep iGaming platforms reliable, compliant and shipping.

I’m Michael Chambers, Senior Software Engineering Manager at Bede Gaming, with more than ten years in online gaming.

Selected results

  1. 5+

    Operator launches delivered, scaling from three teams to five to meet commercial deadlines without cutting corners on quality.

  2. 100k+

    Players migrated, along with millions of transactions, reconciled so customers saw no disruption.

  3. 10+

    Years in iGaming, from writing payments integrations to leading engineering managers and their teams.

How I work

I own Registrations, Player Profiles, Authentication and Identity at Bede: the capabilities every player touches, where mistakes carry commercial, regulatory and customer consequences.

  • Lead through managers

    I grow engineering managers rather than going around them. My workstream’s eNPS has consistently scored above the business average.

  • Make risk visible early

    Operator launches, high-risk data migrations and regulated features, planned so the hard parts surface before they become incidents.

  • Quality as a habit

    Acceptance test coverage, flaky-test fixes, OpenTelemetry and health checks, so teams can release with confidence.

  • Stay close to the code

    I started out in payments engineering and still build things in my own time, which keeps my technical judgement honest.

Outside work

I run ChambersPlays, a YouTube gaming channel, and I build software for the things I care about.
