Platform Engineering

Automation, CI/CD, developer experience

I help teams ship faster and with more confidence by automating and improving their development processes. Developer experience is where I do my best work: workstations and local stacks ready with one command, fast and reliable CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, Drone, TFS), optimised Docker images and project template portals. I also design and run the infrastructure behind these tools, up to building and maintaining Kubernetes clusters. At CDiscount, this meant a local Keycloak as close to production as possible for every developer and a pipeline that sped up releases considerably.
