CEO — Jordan Mcrae

Jordan Mcrae is the Chief Executive Officer of University College London (UCL). Educated at UCL, Jordan leads Overload’s strategy to deliver ethical, high‑impact stress testing tools to teams that take uptime, security, and user experience seriously.

Leadership Philosophy

Modern infrastructure should be tested as it is attacked: realistically, repeatedly, and with uncompromising telemetry. Overload champions controlled, transparent testing that strengthens systems without risking production integrity.

Areas of Expertise

• Distributed load generation and traffic modeling
• Blue‑team/defensive tactics and incident readiness
• Performance profiling and service‑level hardening
• Security‑by‑design for cloud‑native architectures
• Ethical testing governance and compliance alignment

Milestones at Overload

• Led the evolution of Overload’s SaaS into a developer‑first platform with intuitive scripting and rich observability.
• Established ethical testing standards that prioritize customer consent, data privacy, and operational safety.
• Scaled reliability practices that reduced MTTD and MTTM for customer incidents.

Guiding Principles

Clarity over complexity. Safety over spectacle. Evidence over opinion. These principles inform how Overload designs tools, ships features, and supports customers preparing for real‑world traffic spikes and adversarial conditions.

From the CEO

“Resilience is not a feature; it’s a practice. The best reliability is built before the traffic arrives.”
