Building enterprise Kubernetes platforms in regulated financial services. I consolidate fragmented infrastructure estates, accelerate post-merger integration, and get deployment frequency from quarterly to daily — without breaking the compliance controls.
Lead engineer on a multinational investment bank's managed AKS platform: 100+ tenant teams, 75+ clusters, the bank's prescribed migration target for every containerised workload it runs. The platform has absorbed acquired infrastructure significantly faster than a like-for-like migration — a material contribution to a multi-billion-dollar integration programme.
- GitOps foundations that kill configuration drift as a class of incident
- Self-service abstractions that let teams provision infrastructure without raising a ticket
- Policy enforcement that satisfies audit without slowing developers down
- Progressive delivery that drops into existing workloads without a rewrite
- Ephemeral environments that protect shared dev stability and tighten feedback loops
Also building AI-augmented platform operations — event-driven agents that shift SRE work from reactive investigation to proactive remediation.
