DevOps Engineer · Platform Engineer · SRE
An enthusiastic and motivated DevOps and Platform Engineer with a wealth of experience using many technologies across different platforms. Specialising in Linux systems, Python, Terraform, Kubernetes, and open-source solutions, consistently delivering results which support business efficiency. Experienced with AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and Infrastructure as Code. I have led disaster recovery efforts under pressure, delivered production AI backend services, and take pride in owning problems end to end. Very keen on automation.
Working with a diverse stack — Ansible, AWX, Terraform, CentOS, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu, Docker, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Python, AWS (EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, IAM, WAF), GitLab and more. Maintaining and updating internal infrastructure, provisioning and managing customer environments via Infrastructure as Code.
Implemented AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS) across the company's data centre infrastructure, enabling a full failover to EC2 during a major outage — recovering 75% of services within 48 hours and restoring business operations overnight.
AWS-focused role covering EC2, RDS, CloudFront, Route 53, VPCs and Load Balancers. Migrated the core Node.js/PHP application into Docker.
Managed GitLab infrastructure using Docker, Docker Compose and Docker Swarm, including Traefik configuration. Built and self-hosted internal tooling using Python (Flask), MariaDB, Redis and Azure DevOps, deployed to a self-managed, highly-available Proxmox cluster.
Feature development, bug fixing, CI/CD pipelines and branching strategy on K2K. Stack: Laravel, Flask, ElasticSearch, Cassandra, Redis and MariaDB. Cloud infrastructure across AWS (EC2, S3, RDS) and Azure DevOps. Data migrations, software releases and service reliability.

AI
Running a relatively large self-hosted infrastructure cluster. A personal sandbox for testing and deploying technologies before they hit production — Proxmox, Docker, self-hosted services and whatever's interesting that week.
Personal projects and development outside of work — mostly homelab-adjacent, AI tooling, and automation. Built a personal AI assistant using llama.cpp and RAG. Daily driving Arch Linux.
Always discovering new genres, artists and songs. Music is a constant — it genuinely helps with focus and getting into flow when working.
I have a young family and enjoy spending as much time with them as I can.
