Andy Welsh engineered robust cloud infrastructure and automation across the ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments and cloud-platform-environments repositories, focusing on scalable deployment, security, and operational resilience. He modularized SQS policy management, integrated event-driven processing with IRSA and Secrets Manager, and enhanced monitoring through Cortex SOC tooling. Using Terraform, Bash, and Python, Andy delivered comprehensive alerting, IAM automation, and CI/CD improvements, while stabilizing runtime behavior with targeted bug fixes and configuration updates. His work included onboarding documentation, database bootstrap automation, and HTTPS hardening, resulting in faster deployments, improved governance, and reduced operational risk. The solutions demonstrated depth in cloud engineering and DevOps practices.
