As an AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Practitioner, and FinOps Certified Practitioner, I've led and delivered complex cloud projects with a proven track record of success. In my current role as Lead Cloud Engineer at Legal & General, I've spearheaded significant projects, including the migration of 300+ accounts to a new OU structure. I've optimized pipelines and influenced team culture to increase release cycles, and I've taken ownership of the security assessment of our solutions, ensuring adherence to best practice security techniques. Previously, as a Cloud/DevOps Engineer at Wilko, I executed cost-saving measures that resulted in an annual reduction of £253K in cloud expenditure. I developed tailored, cost intelligent dashboards to promote team accountability and informed decision-making. I also implemented stringent user access controls, significantly elevating the organization's security posture. At Semantic Logic, I designed and built highly available, fault-tolerant, and scalable architectures that facilitated businesses' transition from on-premises to AWS. I utilized various AWS services to improve web application resiliency and uptime, achieving a 99.99% uptime target. As a Cloud Support Engineer at Microsoft, I assisted customers with Microsoft 365 cloud-based product adoption, including migration strategy from on-premises to cloud, disaster recovery, and cost optimization. In addition to my professional roles, I'm a DevOps Ambassador at the DevOps Institute and a FinOps Practitioner at the FinOps Foundation. I spearhead initiatives, generate content, and advocate for best practices in cloud financial management.
