Worked extensively on the ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments repository, delivering event-driven infrastructure and robust cloud platform management for the prison visits domain. Leveraged Terraform and AWS services, including SNS and IAM, to implement real-time event subscriptions, automate notifications, and streamline cross-environment data synchronization. Focused on infrastructure as code, database modernization, and CI/CD automation, while maintaining configuration hygiene and security governance. Addressed operational challenges by refining filter policies, aligning environment configurations, and managing queue integrations. Demonstrated depth in cloud engineering and DevOps by enabling scalable, reliable workflows that improved data consistency, deployment flexibility, and disaster recovery across development, staging, preproduction, and production.
April 2026 delivered a shift to event-driven processing for the prison visits domain within the cloud-platform-environments project. Implemented domain-event subscriptions for prisoner contact creation and updates, enabling real-time reactions to contact data changes across all environments (dev, staging, preprod, prod). Enhanced event types and SNS filter policies for prison visits bookings to improve relevance and reduce noise. Performed infrastructure cleanup and environment alignment, removing obsolete queues and dead-letter configurations and standardizing namespaces to reduce deployment drift across environments. These changes collectively improve data freshness, operational efficiency, and the reliability of event-driven workflows across the prisoner management domain.

March 2026 performance summary for ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments. Delivered governance improvements, security hardening, and deployment reliability across environments, including reviewer_teams governance for organisations-api, event-driven integration for Booker registry, expanded CI/CD automation, and scalable IRSA/SQS configurations. Implemented non-main branch deployments to dev and staging, and consolidated IRSA policies to meet the 15-policy limit. These changes reduce risk, improve testing velocity, and support faster, safer releases.

Month: 2025-08 – This period focused on strengthening the visits service’ s event-driven integration across the cloud-platform-environments repository by enabling cross-environment subscriptions for appointment-related events and implementing timely prison-visit approvals notifications, while also addressing a client-roles issue with a controlled mitigation to preserve data integrity. The work lays the groundwork for real-time data synchronization, improved user experience in scheduling, and more robust cross-environment workflows.

June 2025 monthly summary for ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments. Focused on infrastructure hygiene by removing an unused SNS subscription for prison visits allocation events, reducing configuration complexity and misconfiguration risk. The change was implemented via four commits across Terraform/AWS SNS configuration with no user-visible impact.

May 2025: Delivered three domain-events enhancements for the visits domain and improved infrastructure reliability and security. Key features delivered: - Visit allocations event processing pipeline established with a dedicated queue and DLQ; SNS routing configured to filter and deliver prison-visit-allocation.adjustment.created events to the new queue; updated IAM policy to grant access to the new queues. - Domain events infrastructure naming consolidation for visits: refactored Terraform domain events wiring to align with the visits namespace; resources/modules renamed and related secrets updated to reflect unified naming. - Visit allocation API domain events subscriptions across environments: enabled and tailored domain event subscriptions for the allocation API across dev, staging, preproduction and production; added booked and cancelled events and adjusted staging behavior. Additional hygiene: fixed missing IRSA entries, corrected module names, removed duplicates, and formatting fixes to reduce drift.

April 2025: Delivered enhancements to the HMPPS prison visits allocation event flow and solidified prisoner lifecycle event handling in Nomis integration. Implemented wider SNS event subscriptions and corrected event sources/filters to ensure accurate and timely synchronization with Nomis across staging and production. These changes improve data consistency for visits allocation and reduce missed or misrouted events across environments.
