Over four months, contributed to the ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments repository by delivering four infrastructure features and resolving a critical database bug. Focused on AWS and Terraform, the work included scaffolding a CDC access control proof of concept to establish secure data governance foundations, tuning Oracle RDS configurations to improve performance and reliability, and automating maintenance workflows for streamlined upgrades. Addressed a MAAT database cache memory issue by adjusting db_cache_size, resulting in improved stability. Demonstrated disciplined change management and Infrastructure as Code practices using HCL, with an emphasis on reducing operational risk, simplifying parameter management, and aligning infrastructure with evolving platform requirements.
April 2026: Delivered two Terraform-driven enhancements to ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments focused on Oracle RDS reliability, security, and parameter management. Removed the null resource driving RDS maintenance actions and upgraded the Oracle RDS engine to a newer version, improving security posture and feature availability. Simplified RDS parameter management by introducing and then removing the NLS territory parameter, reducing configuration complexity and maintenance overhead. These changes reduce operational risk, speed up provisioning, and align infrastructure with current Oracle capabilities.
