PROFILE
Brage Gording
Brage Gording engineered and modernized the nhsuk/manage-vaccinations-in-schools platform, delivering modular, scalable infrastructure and robust deployment automation. He architected and implemented Terraform-driven infrastructure-as-code, enabling ECS-native blue/green deployments, autoscaling, and secure service-to-service networking with Service Connect. Brage migrated background processing to Sidekiq, optimized database queries, and integrated observability with Grafana, improving reliability and operational insight. His work included hardening CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Mise, formalizing architectural decisions, and automating data replication and migration workflows. Leveraging technologies such as Ruby on Rails, Terraform, and Docker, Brage’s contributions provided depth, maintainability, and resilience across cloud-native systems and workflows.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 performance summary for nhsuk/manage-vaccinations-in-schools. Delivered critical reliability, scalability, and deployment improvements across Grafana observability, system capacity, and CI/CD pipelines. Implemented robust Grafana deployment enhancements, improved permissions, and Valkey observability integration; increased resilience with Aurora capacity doubling, Sidekiq autoscaling, and health checks; modernized deployment pipelines with template-based task definitions, independent app deployments, IAM role improvements, and CodeDeploy integration; and performed repository cleanup by removing an empty Terraform migration file. These efforts reduced mean time to recovery, accelerated releases, and strengthened infrastructure safety margins.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 delivered a modular, scalable foundation for nhsuk/manage-vaccinations-in-schools and strengthened release readiness and CI/CD reliability. Key accomplishments include introducing an ECS background service module and wiring resources into modularized services, updating the deployment pipeline to support modular services, and enabling ECS task access to improve operational flexibility. Implemented Terraform governance, permissions, and formatting improvements (policy updates, essential Terraform CI permissions, and removal of obsolete code) to improve security and maintainability. Achieved release readiness for v2.1.1 with unique bucket names and domain/host header alignment, plus updated QA/good-job configurations and validation scripts to align with modular deployments. Enhanced validation, bootstrap configuration, and task management (SSM parameter refactor, adjusted background task counts) and added data replication configuration and workflow automation for data tasks. Addressed pipeline reliability issues by fixing typos and target output updates, ensuring pipelines exit on failure, and resolving fork PR test failures; also introduced conditional Rails tests execution and strengthened pre-commit checks. Tech stack and skills demonstrated include ECS, Terraform, GitHub Actions, SSM parameter management, data replication automation, linting with tflint, and container monitoring enhancements.
