I build secure, scalable multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms across AWS and Azure.

At Contour Software, I design and manage cloud infrastructure for a microservices-based aircraft leasing platform, running Angular and .NET Core workloads on AKS and EKS. I use Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, Istio, Gateway API, Kyverno, and observability tooling to standardise secure, reliable deployments.

Previously, I led multi-cloud platform work for ValueLink at SpurSol, contributing to 99.95% uptime, and migrated 500+ SQL Server databases and 20 virtual machines at TrafficDigital. Across eight years in DevOps, I’ve built AWS and Azure infrastructure, CI/CD automation, disaster recovery, cloud networking, and governance.
