What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote roles in the UK, EU, or US, and to relocation with sponsorship.

At Sigmatek Consultancy, I own production reliability for client AWS environments and lead cost-optimisation engagements, from workload profiling to budget guardrails. I also design multi-account AWS platforms with Terraform and build production Kubernetes (EKS) platforms with ArgoCD GitOps.

At Xapic Technology, I replaced manual deployments with automated CI/CD pipelines and cut deployment time from hours to minutes. I built the monitoring and alerting stack and established on-call coverage and incident runbooks.
