Terraform & Infrastructure as Code
Primary IaC tool for multi-cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and OCI. Expertise in module design, remote state management, and drift detection. Extensive Terraform templates from real production environments ready to adapt.
Multi-Cloud Infrastructure (AWS & Azure)
Production-level experience across AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, EKS, Lambda, CloudFront, WorkSpaces) and Microsoft Azure (VMs, AKS, DevOps, Entra ID, VNets, Key Vault). Terraform modules ready to adapt for any cloud requirement.
PowerShell & Automation
Daily driver for complex automation across Windows Server, SQL Server, and Azure environments. Automation strategy follows a deploy-in-dev, test, then deploy-to-prod approach, reducing toil and codifying everything through CI/CD pipelines.
Linux (RHEL/Rocky)
Over 20 years of production experience with RHEL, Rocky, Ubuntu, CentOS, and AlmaLinux. Daily production use across enterprise and HPC environments.
Configuration Management (Ansible)
Ansible as primary configuration management tool with Puppet concepts. Fleet-wide playbook frameworks for infrastructure provisioning and operational automation.
CI/CD & GitHub Actions
Pipeline-as-code using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and GitLab CI. Full Git workflow management and automated deployment pipelines across multiple client environments.
Monitoring & Observability
Production monitoring solutions built with LogicMonitor, Prometheus, Grafana, and Azure Monitor. SLI/SLO definition and operational dashboards.
HPC & GPU Infrastructure
Design and deployment of complete AI/HPC GPU clusters from bare metal including H200 NVL and L4 GPUs, full SLURM stack, Lustre parallel filesystem, low-latency networking, and NVIDIA driver stack with CUDA, cuDNN, NCCL, and TensorRT.
Containerisation
Docker, EKS, and AKS for container orchestration. Multi-stage builds and registry management. Rootless Docker via srun/sbatch with GPU passthrough in HPC environments.
SQL Server Administration
Administration, automation, and T-SQL scripting. Performance tuning, backup management, and high availability configurations.
Windows Server
Windows Server 2012 through 2022 administration including Active Directory, GPO, DNS, DHCP, hardening, and patching automation.
Python & Scripting
Python, Bash, and PowerShell for automation tooling and API integration. AI-assisted development and production AI voice agents with RAG.
AI & Emerging Tech
Production AI voice agents built with RAG technology. AI-assisted development used daily to accelerate engineering workflows.

Project history
Delivered 99.99% uptime over 5 years in a government-regulated environment with strict security controls, audit trails, and documented change procedures. Stakeholder management coordinating across government and vendor organisations.
Managed production trading infrastructure across 100+ servers in a low-latency, zero-downtime environment. Delivered low-latency infrastructure in trading environments where microseconds matter. Automated deployment with no dev environment to work on.
Migrated a legacy Windows Hyper-V estate to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible. Wrote custom automation modules where off-the-shelf tooling could not handle the complexity. HPC deployments included.
