• Platform Engineer

  • Dec 2017 - Sep 2020

  I work in a small team managing the AWS hosted platform, supporting developers in infrastructure projects, improving deployment pipelines, and developing tools for the infrastructure. I spent much of the first 2 years developing our internal Ruby based tool for managing and deploying CloudFormation stacks, as well as implementing our first Lambda functions and improving tooling around it. I then went on to build a system for automating and streamlining deployments via Slack, which has significantly reduced overhead in our release process. I am now working with one of the development teams to migrate their infrastructure to Terraform and a container based system, as well as improving my skills with Kotlin and test-driven development.
