Peter Fawcett
@peterfawcett
I am an Ansible automation engineer focused on infrastructure-as-code.
What I'm looking for
I am an infrastructure automation expert specializing in Ansible and infrastructure-as-code, with five years designing and delivering robust, enterprise-scale automation across Linux and Windows environments. I build idempotent, modular frameworks that reduce manual effort and improve reliability.
I have architected and implemented modular Ansible frameworks for middleware operations, automated patch deployment pipelines, and integrated secure credential retrieval using CyberArk. My work enabled zero-downtime rollouts, faster patch windows, and platform-agnostic roles supporting both Linux and Windows.
I have supported and owned middleware platforms including WebLogic, Tomcat, Apache httpd, and WebSphere MQ across datacenters, and I drive adoption through documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer for onshore/offshore teams. I routinely deliver last-minute automation features and operational support during production windows.
I enjoy solving cross-functional challenges—identity integrations, secure authentication flows, and private cloud implementations—and I maintain a home lab (Proxmox/TrueNAS/LXC) to continuously sharpen DevOps and automation skills. I am motivated to contribute to teams that prioritize secure, scalable automation and collaborative process improvement.
