CURRENT WORK
I've been with Kainos, a fantastic company, since July 2021. I'm in the weeds daily with IaC, CI/CD, DevOps, Azure, Flux, Helm, and Jenkins, vital technologies in the modern world, applied in numerous different ways. Bash, Python and JS are frequently deployed to provide automated solutions to many different problems.
I'm currently leading an agile delivery squad of 8 talented engineers, helping to build, maintain, and support our core infrastructure, serving hundreds of developers across multiple application teams, and troubleshooting various issues across each of the environments in our estate. This site is currently hosted as a static website in Azure, and continously deployed using GitHub actions.
