I build cloud-native DevOps platforms that automate delivery, improve reliability, and reduce operational effort.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered cloud and DevOps solutions for CyberCX, MYOB, Accenture, GE, and Herd-i, automating software delivery, server management, and infrastructure across consulting and in-house environments.
At CyberCX, I took over the uplift of failing deprecated TypeScript/Node serverless applications and their delivery toolchain, reducing manpower requirements by 80%. At MYOB, I designed AWS cloud-first solutions to modernize the legacy PayGlobal Online platform and replaced a monolithic multi-tenant SQL database with highly available failover clusters.
I've built Terraform-managed AWS environments, self-service CI/CD pipelines, containerized microservices, and cloud-native search using AWS managed services. I’m comfortable leading teams, working directly with clients, and turning complex platform needs into scalable, reliable delivery systems.
