Worked on the ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-ami-builds and modernisation-platform-terraform-ssm-patching repositories, focusing on cloud infrastructure and security improvements. Over five months, delivered features and fixes that included hardening S3 access policies, deprecating legacy reporting environments, and removing obsolete development and test references from Terraform configurations. Used Terraform and HCL to enforce least-privilege IAM policies, streamline AMI build pipelines, and align deployment permissions with current targets. Prioritized traceable, auditable changes through version control, reducing security risk and maintenance overhead. Demonstrated strong DevOps and Infrastructure as Code practices by maintaining up-to-date base images and ensuring environment access matched organizational deployment standards.

September 2025 monthly summary: Completed a critical environment access alignment for PlanetFM by updating Terraform configuration to remove development and test accounts from the launch_permission_accounts_by_branch list in shared.auto.tfvars, ensuring deployment permissions reflect current targets. This fix reduces deployment drift and shortens incident response by clarifying access boundaries and improving predictability of deployments.

June 2025 monthly summary for ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-ami-builds: Focused on deprecating the legacy reporting environment within the CI/build pipeline. Delivered by upgrading the Windows Server 2022 AMI build configuration from 0.2.1 to 0.2.2 and removing the nomis-core-reporting-development account from distribution and launch permissions in terraform.tfvars. This change aligns with the deprecation plan, tightens security, and simplifies maintenance within the build system.
