About

DevOps / Cloud Engineer based in London, working with AWS infrastructure, Terraform-driven Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD automation. In my recent role, I supported and enhanced AWS environments for a SaaS analytics platform, implementing Terraform and automating deployments via GitHub Actions. I worked across multi-environment configuration, containerised services and monitoring to improve reliability and operational consistency. Alongside commercial experience, I’ve delivered practical Kubernetes, serverless and observability solutions, building a strong foundation in scalable, production-like cloud platforms. Open to DevOps / Platform Engineering roles in London / UK.
