Engineering at the intersection of infrastructure and product.
I'm a DevOps engineer specialising in CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure. I build the deployment systems that let engineering teams release software fast, consistently, and without fear whether that is once a day or ten times a day.
When I work with a team, deployments that used to take hours become minutes, manual processes that caused errors become automated, and releases that felt risky become routine.
What I bring
- →CI/CD pipelines that remove fear from the release process
- →Cloud infrastructure on AWS that scales without unnecessary cost
- →Containerised deployments with Docker that run the same everywhere
- →Engineering systems thinking, I own the outcome, not just the task

Work
Selected projects.
A selection of infrastructure, DevOps, and frontend work. Each project is documented with architecture and deployment decisions.
Scalable infrastructure-as-code and containerization strategy featuring remote state management and optimized GitHub Actions orchestration.
Zero-touch infrastructure provisioning and containerized application delivery through integrated Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions workflows.
Automated build, test, and deployment system for production applications with zero-downtime deploys.
End-to-end deployment platform that provisions AWS infrastructure with Terraform and ships containerized applications automatically on every code push — zero manual steps from commit to live server.
Full-stack property listing platform deployed with Docker, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and Cloudflare edge caching for sub-300ms global load times.
A Python-powered backend API for shortening URLs and tracking click analytics with real-time reporting.
