PROFILE

Stevelinden

Stephen Linden engineered and maintained cloud infrastructure for the ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-ami-builds repository, focusing on secure, maintainable, and production-aligned AMI build pipelines. He applied Infrastructure as Code principles using Terraform and HCL, systematically deprecating obsolete environments and tightening IAM policies to enforce least privilege. His work included hardening S3 access, updating base image configurations, and removing legacy development and test accounts to reduce security risk and deployment drift. By ensuring traceable, auditable changes and resolving configuration bugs, Stephen improved deployment governance and maintainability. His disciplined approach demonstrated depth in DevOps, cloud security, and policy management across complex, evolving infrastructure.
