About Me:

Work

Filament Syfter - August 2023-Present

I joined the DevOps team at Filament where responsibilities have included implementing Grafana/Prometheus monitoring from scratch for all our cloud and datacentre kubernetes clusters, improving and maintaining our deployment pipelines and internal tooling to more effectively support our development teams and clients, as well as to plan to scale our infrastructure efficiently as we grow.

Codurance - July 2022-August 2023

At Codurance I had a variety of responsibilities, supporting public and private sector clients using Terraform to build infrastructure in AWS, including S3 buckets, DynamoDB tables, ec2 instances, and an EKS cluster, as well as both Gitlab CI and Github Workflows to automate deployment of code to environments, as well as refactoring pipelines to optimise code and reduce build time.

Kira Systems/Litera Microsystems - September 2021-July 2022

I worked in the DevOps team supporting the infrastructure that the developer teams rely on, and that serves our application to customers, and took responsibility for migrating our CloudFormation templates to Terraform code

Capgemini - November 2015 - September 2021

Leaving the army to join Capgemini as an apprentice software engineer was a huge change for me and my family, but has proven to be one of the best choices I've made. Early in my career with Capgemini I have worked as a tester, using Java and Selenium to carry out integration and UI testing. I have also spent time working as a mobile developer, using React and React Native to build iPhone Apps, and Cordova to build apps for both Android and iOS In 2017, staying within Capgemin I transitioned into a platform engineering role where I worked mainly for large public sector clients, learning several AWS services, monitoring with Zabbix and Opsview, secrets management, and became the first point of contact within my teams for platform issues.
