What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth and impactful projects.

As a DevOps Engineer with over six years of specialized experience, I have honed my skills in deploying cloud-based infrastructure, particularly within AWS. My expertise encompasses a wide range of DevOps concepts, including CI/CD, containerization, and infrastructure as code. I thrive in agile environments, contributing to both project work and platform support, ensuring seamless operations and innovative solutions.

Currently, I am part of an agile scrum team at Genomics England, where I lead projects focused on building high-performance computing clusters and architecting the Seqera Tower platform. My previous role at William Hill allowed me to implement a company-wide AWS tagging solution and automate various processes through RPA. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive efficiency and enhance operational capabilities.
