At Waystream, I lead a three-person DevOps team setting infrastructure standards and deployment workflows across three engineering teams. I secured CTO approval and led the migration of infrastructure to Kubernetes, standardising deployments across environments.
I've built GitLab CI/CD pipelines for containerised PHP/Laravel, Python, and Node.js applications, cutting deployment time by 50% and increasing release frequency by 50%. My Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure achieved 98% uptime while creating a repeatable provisioning process.
I embed DevSecOps practices through SAST, IAM least-privilege policies, secrets management, and automated compliance gates. I also deployed Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, and New Relic observability, reducing incident response time by 35%, production downtime by 25%, and operational costs by 20%.
My backend foundation comes from building Node.js and NestJS APIs at Zyonel Technologies, including services supporting 2,000+ concurrent users at 99.9% uptime. That application experience informs how I design reliable platforms, databases, and release workflows.
