Infrastructure engineer with 8 years running hybrid infrastructure for a financial services company with 2 data centers, 3 cloud regions, and 3,200 servers supporting 6,000 users. Raised infrastructure availability from 99.8% to 99.99%, cut cloud spend 31% through rightsizing and reserved capacity, and moved 80% of infrastructure changes to code with 0 configuration drift incidents in 2 years. Builds infrastructure that is defined in code, monitored before it fails, and cheap enough that nobody asks to turn it off.
Coursework in Systems Administration, Networking, Cloud Computing, and Information Security.
Also holds Red Hat Certified Engineer, HashiCorp Terraform Associate, and Certified Kubernetes Administrator certifications.
- Engineer hybrid infrastructure across 2 data centers, 3 cloud regions, and 3,200 servers for a financial services company with 6,000 users, on a team of 9.
- Raised infrastructure availability from 99.8% to 99.99% through monitoring redesign, automated failover for 40 critical services, and a patching pipeline.
- Cut cloud spend 31%, about $1.4M a year, through rightsizing 900 instances, reserved capacity, and scheduled shutdown of 300 non-production servers.
- Managed 1,400 virtual servers across 2 data centers for an insurer with 2,500 users, with a 99.9% availability record.
- Moved 80% of infrastructure changes to code with Terraform and Ansible, cutting server provisioning from 5 days to 2 hours.
- Led the migration of 400 servers to a public cloud region on schedule with 0 data loss and a 22% infrastructure cost reduction.
- Automated the patching of 200 servers with a scripted pipeline during a 12-week internship, cutting patch windows from 8 hours to 2.
- Built the server inventory database that replaced 4 spreadsheets across 1,400 servers.
- Received a full-time offer at the end of the 12-week internship based on the patching pipeline.
Availability Programme. Rebuilt monitoring across 3,200 servers with service-level alerts instead of host-level noise, cutting alert volume 85%, then built automated failover for 40 critical services and a weekly patching pipeline with canary groups, which raised availability from 99.8% to 99.99% and cut unplanned outages from 18 a year to 2.
Cloud Cost Optimisation. Analysed 12 months of cloud usage to rightsize 900 instances, purchased reserved capacity for a steady-state baseline, and scheduled 300 non-production servers to run only in business hours, which cut cloud spend 31% and funded the monitoring redesign.
Infrastructure as Code Adoption. Moved 80% of infrastructure changes at a previous employer to Terraform and Ansible with a review pipeline and a drift detection job, which cut provisioning from 5 days to 2 hours, produced 0 configuration drift incidents in 2 years, and gave auditors a change history for every server.
- Member of a city cloud and infrastructure meetup of about 400, presenting about once a year.
- Contributor to 2 open source infrastructure tools with about 20 merged pull requests.
- Volunteer infrastructure administrator for a nonprofit with 3 sites and 150 users.
- Technical lead for an infrastructure team of 9 and owner of the infrastructure standards.
- Trained 6 engineers on infrastructure as code and the review pipeline.
- Represent infrastructure in the weekly change advisory board reviewing about 40 changes a week.
