I keep large systems up. I ran streaming resiliency for ITV at the 2022 FIFA World Cup - 146 million streams, zero interruption - and today own the full cloud stack for a UK tech group.
AWS Solutions Architect Professional, CKA/CKS/CKAD, Terraform Associate, GCP Associate
8 years building and rescuing production infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and the CI/CD and observability around them. I've worked at both ends - multi-tenant platforms serving 130k+ customers across 35+ data centres, and small teams who need one senior person to make deploys stop hurting.
WHAT I'M USUALLY BROUGHT IN FOR
• Cloud architecture & migration - AWS, GCP and Azure. Greenfield builds, lift-and-shifts, and moving off legacy infrastructure without downtime.
• Kubernetes & containers - EKS, GKE, Docker, Helm. Production setup, scaling, and taking over clusters someone else left behind.
• Infrastructure as Code & automation - Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Azure DevOps. Getting hand-managed estates under version control.
• Cloud cost optimization - cut monthly infrastructure spend through architectural changes and rightsizing.
• Reliability, observability & DR - Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Sentry, alerting, disaster recovery and load testing at national broadcast scale.
• Backend & platform engineering - Go, TypeScript, Python, APIs, serverless, and internal developer tooling.
HOW I WORK
• Start small. I'd rather prove the impact than pitch it, so we begin with a short, tightly-scoped piece of work - enough for you to see what I actually add.
• If I don't deliver what I said I would, you don't pay for it and we part ways, no hard feelings.
Beyond that: scoped upfront, visible progress, no surprises. I document what I build so your team owns it after I leave - I'd rather hand off cleanly than make you dependent on me. Tell me what's breaking or what you're trying to ship. If I'm not the right person for it, I'll tell you that too.

AWS Cloud & DevOps Engineer with a full-stack engineering background — I help businesses build, automate, and scale reliable cloud infrastructure on AWS.
☁️ CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE & AWS
I architect and deploy multi-tier applications on AWS — EC2, Application Load Balancers, Auto Scaling Groups, VPC, and Route 53 private hosted zones — with layered security group architecture for production-grade isolation. I provision infrastructure using Shell scripting and Infrastructure as Code, and have set up backend service layers (MySQL, Memcache, RabbitMQ) across secure private network architectures.
🔄 CI/CD & AUTOMATION
I build CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Docker to automate testing, builds, and deployments. I containerize applications with Docker and am extending into Kubernetes orchestration and GitOps workflows.
🛠 FULL-STACK DEVELOPMENT
5+ years building production applications in Java/Spring Boot, Node.js/Express, and React. This means I understand the applications I deploy, not just the infrastructure around them — I can own the full pipeline from code to cloud.
🤖 AI INTEGRATION
I integrate AI/LLM APIs into existing applications for clients who want intelligent features added without a full rebuild.
Currently focused on AWS cloud and DevOps work: infrastructure setup, CI/CD pipeline builds, containerization, and cloud migrations. Open to hourly or fixed-price engagements — let's talk about your infrastructure.
