I lead engineering managers and their teams across six regulated gaming markets.

I’m Michael Chambers, Senior Software Engineering Manager at Bede Gaming, leading registration, identity and authentication for every player on the platform.

Selected results

Regulated market launches where my teams delivered player onboarding: Germany, Ontario, Brazil and New Zealand.
99.99%
Uptime SLA met for login, registration and identity, with no more than one breach in 24 months.
93%
Fewer dependency alerts, from over 1,500 to under 100, after I led my stream’s move to AI-assisted remediation.

How I work

My stream owns Registrations, Player Profiles, Authentication and Identity at Bede: around 15 engineers led through three engineering managers and a staff engineer, scaling with contractors when a launch needs it. I’m accountable for its priorities, roadmap and technical direction, set with product and compliance.

Lead through managers
I grow leaders rather than going around them: three engineering managers and a staff engineer developed from within, with 9-box succession planning. Retention and eNPS in my workstream consistently beat the business average.
Player protection by design
GamStop, GamProtect, Germany’s LUGAS and OASIS, KYC through Persona and Equifax, and BetBuddy risk monitoring. My teams’ work is where regulation meets real players, so protection is built in from the start.
AI with measurable results
An automated defect-triage pipeline where AI agents triage and in some cases fix issues, and more than 250 hours of CI execution time saved every month, giving engineers and agents a faster feedback loop.
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.
