@drewmasci
Lead DevOps and infrastructure engineer driving scalable, secure cloud solutions and team leadership.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am a Lead Support Engineer and infrastructure specialist with deep experience designing and operating secure, scalable AWS-hosted platforms. I focus on delivering maintainable, high-performing solutions while partnering with cross-functional teams to meet client needs.
I have led a six-person team, provided mentorship, and instituted best practices across Laravel, React, and cloud-native stacks. I champion pragmatic engineering through automation, CI/CD, and tooling that reduces cost and increases uptime.
Key achievements include improving platform uptime by 73% through a custom server-tracking and autoscaling tool, building a bespoke CircleCI deployment package, and delivering an OpenAI-driven proposal generator that cut generation time from days to minutes.
I value clear communication, reliable operations, and continual improvement; I seek roles where I can lead infrastructure strategy, streamline deployments, and help teams deliver secure, cost-effective software at scale.
