Who I Am

I'm a Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 6+ years of experience across Azure, GCP, and AWS — designing and operating the infrastructure that keeps enterprise systems running reliably, securely, and at scale.

My work spans CI/CD pipeline architecture, Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Bicep, containerised workloads on AKS and Cloud Run, and GCP-native application platforms built on top of Cloud Foundry-inspired internal developer platforms. I've worked across banking, media, research, and enterprise SaaS environments — always focused on outcomes over outputs.

Most recently I've been freelancing as a Cloud Engineer, architecting and deploying GCP-native applications using Cloud Run, Firestore, IAP, Cloud Build, and Secret Manager — alongside Terraform-provisioned infrastructure aligned to Cloud Adoption Framework principles.

Cloud Adoption Framework — GCP Internal Developer Platform

Architected and deployed a GCP-based Internal Developer Platform (IDP) using Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) principles — enabling standardised, self-service infrastructure provisioning for engineering teams, analogous to Backstage + Terraform Enterprise in the GCP ecosystem.

  • Designed the CAF-aligned landing zone structure on GCP, establishing governance guardrails, project hierarchy, and IAM boundary policies across environments
  • Provisioned infrastructure using Terraform with modular, reusable configurations — mapping workspace variables to environment-specific .tfvars for consistent multi-env deployments
  • Configured Cloud Build CI/CD pipelines triggering on Git branch events, building container images, pushing to Artifact Registry, and deploying to Cloud Run automatically
  • Integrated Secret Manager for runtime secrets injection and IAP (Identity-Aware Proxy) as the zero-trust access control layer — enforcing identity-based, not network-based, trust boundaries
  • Evaluated CAF against Google Cloud Deploy, Backstage, HashiCorp Vault, and Terraform Enterprise — documented trade-offs for healthcare compliance posture and internal adoption friction
  • Produced manager-facing architecture summaries and onboarding documentation for engineering teams joining the platform

Research Link Master (RLM) — Serverless Intranet Application

Designed and deployed a GCP-native intranet link recommendation engine for researchers — a controlled, internal application serving as a curated discovery layer over approved research resources.

  • Built on Node.js/TypeScript Express running on Cloud Run — fully serverless, auto-scaling, zero infrastructure maintenance
  • Used Cloud Firestore as the NoSQL persistence layer for link metadata, user preferences, and recommendation state
  • Secured the application behind IAP (Identity-Aware Proxy) — only authenticated users with approved identities could access the intranet service
  • Automated the full delivery lifecycle with Cloud Build + Artifact Registry: Git push → build → containerise → deploy to Cloud Run
  • Managed all runtime configuration and credentials via Secret Manager — no secrets in code or environment variables
  • Configured Cloud Logging for application observability and audit trail compliance

Enterprise Azure Multi-Environment CI/CD Platform

Designed and operated a multi-stage CI/CD system automating build, test, and deployment across dev, staging, and production Azure environments for multiple product teams.

  • Implemented multi-stage Jenkins and GitHub Actions pipelines with automated testing gates, deployment approval workflows, and environment promotion logic
  • Provisioned all environments using Terraform and Bicep — repeatable, auditable IaC eliminating configuration drift across teams
  • Built self-healing pipeline configurations with automatic rollback on failure, reducing manual intervention and protecting production stability
  • Integrated Azure Policy and RBAC as security gates within the pipeline — enforcing compliance before any resource reached production
  • Set up Azure Monitor and Log Analytics dashboards for real-time pipeline health, deployment frequency, and mean time to recovery tracking

Kubernetes Workload Migration to AKS

Containerised enterprise workloads and migrated them to Azure Kubernetes Service — orchestrating deployments, configuring autoscaling, and ensuring high availability for distributed production services.

  • Containerised legacy services into Docker images, restructuring configuration as environment variables and secrets via Azure Key Vault integration
  • Deployed and managed AKS clusters — configuring node pools, autoscaling policies, rolling update strategies, and pod disruption budgets
  • Defined all Kubernetes resources as Helm charts — enabling versioned, repeatable deployments across environments
  • Integrated AKS deployments into the existing GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline — image build → push to ACR → deploy to AKS on merge to main
  • Monitored cluster health and resource consumption using Azure Monitor for containers and Grafana dashboards

Temporal Workflow Infrastructure — Terraform IaC Investigation

Investigated two independent Terraform repositories provisioning infrastructure for Temporal workflow runtime environments, clarifying the separation between infrastructure provisioning and workflow orchestration logic.

  • Mapped .tfvars file patterns to Git branch naming conventions — establishing clear conventions for environment targeting across the two repos
  • Documented variable passing patterns and confirmed the two repos (tfo-wf-configure-project and tfo-wf-configure-team) operate independently without chaining
  • Clarified the architectural boundary: Terraform provisions infrastructure; Temporal handles workflow runtime logic — preventing teams from conflating the two
  • Produced a manager-facing investigation summary used to unblock the engineering team and inform onboarding documentation

SQL Server Environment Migration — 46% Cost Reduction

Planned and executed a full SQL Server environment migration with zero business disruption, delivering significant infrastructure cost savings while improving availability and business continuity.

  • Conducted risk assessment and migration planning — identifying dependencies, defining rollback procedures, and scheduling maintenance windows to minimise business impact
  • Executed data migration with integrity validation at each stage — confirming consistency between source and target before cutover
  • Managed stakeholder communication throughout — pre-migration briefings, real-time status updates during execution, and post-migration sign-off
  • Delivered a 46% reduction in infrastructure costs and measurably improved system continuity through the new environment design
