What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, scalable cloud platforms and improve developer delivery through reusable automation, strong observability, and practical enablement. I value public-sector and regulated environments where I can lead technical delivery and mentor engineers.

I'm building secure, scalable AWS and Kubernetes foundations for engineering teams, with over four years of hands-on platform and DevOps delivery in public-sector and regulated environments.

At Opencast, I lead pipeline hardening, deployment automation, observability, Terraform upgrades, and legacy workload modernisation. I cut redundant CI job execution by 45%, remediated 70+ high/critical Trivy findings, and migrated VM-based workloads to containerised Amazon ECS services.

Previously, I sustained 99.99% availability on Amazon EKS at Omniplex Learning and delivered secure Terraform-based AWS environments across three customer engagements. At PA Consulting and Slalom Build, I standardised Kubernetes deployments, built reusable Terraform modules with Terratest validation, and delivered AWS migration and platform strategies.

I also invest in developer enablement: I have trained engineers, mentored seven colleagues, and served as Practice Lead for a 35-person DevOps practice. I enjoy making secure delivery patterns reusable, reducing operational overhead, and helping teams ship reliably.
