@jameslittle

Senior DevOps Engineer at Vention, standardizing AWS environments with Terraform modules.

At Vention, I own cloud infrastructure and release operations for distributed product engineering teams. I built Terraform modules to standardize environment creation and improved CI/CD workflows across services.

At Amazon, I supported AWS production infrastructure and automated deployments with Terraform, CloudFormation, Python, and Bash. Earlier, at Netlify, I maintained platform automation for developer-facing web application infrastructure.
