AustraliaWhat I'm looking for
I am a DevOps and Platform Engineer with deep AWS, automation, and infrastructure-as-code expertise who delivers secure, scalable platforms and measurable operational improvements.

I served as a resident AWS architect for large retail programs, led a $20M nationwide technology rollout, and acted as a principal Terraform expert at HashiCorp where I automated repetitive tasks, mentored teams, and helped retain >$4M in ARR.
I prioritise security, observability, and developer experience—implementing Vault-backed access, container security remediation, and modern CI/CD practices to lower MTTR and improve customer satisfaction.
