DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer

Infrastructure that ships fast,
scales cleanly, and stays up.

I help teams build resilient infrastructure, automate everything that can be automated, and sleep better at night knowing their systems are observable, repeatable, and production-ready.

What I can do for you

Whether you need a full infrastructure build-out or targeted help with a specific pain point, I bring the same rigour to every engagement.

01
Infrastructure as Code

Design and implement repeatable, version-controlled cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform and Ansible — from VPCs to fully managed services.

02
Container & K8s Platforms

Containerise your workloads, set up Kubernetes clusters, configure Helm charts, and establish sane autoscaling and rolling-deployment strategies.

03
CI/CD Pipeline Design

Build fast, reliable pipelines that test, build, and ship your code automatically — with environments, gates, and rollback baked in from day one.

04
Observability & Alerting

Stand up Prometheus + Grafana stacks, instrument your services, and build dashboards and alert rules that surface real signals — not noise.

05
Automation & Tooling

Custom Python automation for routine ops tasks: cost reports, incident runbooks, resource audits, Slack bots, and anything else eating your team's time.

06
Consulting & Review

Architecture reviews, cost optimisation audits, security posture checks, or simply a second pair of eyes on a complex migration — I can help.
