Infrastructure & Cloud Management

• Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS using Infrastructure as Code principles. Manage containerized applications using Amazon EKS and ensure optimal performance, security, and cost efficiency. Collaborate with development teams to architect scalable solutions that meet both functional and non-functional requirements whilst embedding observability from the ground up.

Security Controls Implementation

• Implement and maintain security controls throughout the development lifecycle, from code commit to production deployment. Integrate automated security testing, static and dynamic code analysis, and vulnerability scanning into CI/CD pipelines. Establish security gates and approval processes that prevent vulnerable code from reaching production environments. Develop and enforce security policies for container images, infrastructure configurations, and application deployments with comprehensive security observability.

Advanced Monitoring & Observability

• Design and implement enterprise-grade observability solutions using ELK Stack or Prometheus-Grafana to provide comprehensive insights into system performance, security events, and operational health. Architect distributed tracing solutions using OpenTelemetry to monitor application performance across complex microservices architectures and troubleshoot issues with precision. Create sophisticated dashboards, alerts, and reporting mechanisms that provide actionable insights to stakeholders whilst ensuring security events, performance anomalies, and operational issues are proactively identified and investigated. Implement observability-driven incident response and post-mortem processes.

CI/CD Pipeline Management

• Build, maintain, and optimise CI/CD pipelines using GitLab Runners to enable rapid, reliable, and secure software delivery. Embed security controls and observability instrumentation at every stage of the pipeline including pre-commit hooks, automated security testing, compliance checks, and deployment validation. Implement automated testing, security scanning, and deployment processes that support continuous integration and deployment practices whilst maintaining zero-trust security principles and comprehensive pipeline observability.
