Senior Platform Engineer based in the UK, with 12+ years of experience and 5 years specialising in AWS cloud infrastructure. I design and build production-grade AWS environments using EKS, Lambda, CDK, CloudFront, and the broader AWS ecosystem, paired with Terraform, Helm, and GitOps workflows.
On the AWS side, I architect cloud infrastructure at scale: EKS clusters, serverless Lambda functions, event-driven systems with EventBridge, CDN and edge delivery with CloudFront, and full observability stacks using Datadog and CloudWatch. I build reusable Terraform and CDK modules and care about making infrastructure that teams can actually work with.
I take slow or fragile delivery pipelines seriously. I've consistently achieved 30%+ improvements in CI/CD speed and reliability across GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD, through caching strategies, reusable workflow patterns, and smarter pipeline architecture.
My TypeScript and Node.js background means I can go beyond infrastructure. I write Lambda functions, build GraphQL and REST APIs, and contribute to application code when needed. I've led and mentored small engineering teams and can step into a technical leadership role when the work calls for it.
Available for fully remote permanent roles: Senior Platform Engineer, Senior DevOps Engineer, or Senior Software Engineer.
12+ years of experience with a consistent track record: 30-50% improvements in pipeline speed and CI/CD costs, 50% reduction in incident response times, production systems at real scale. My SC clearance is lapsed but renewable, making me eligible for UK public sector and defence projects.
