PROFILE
Ben Sampson
Worked on the nationalarchives/tdr-terraform-environments repository to deliver security-focused infrastructure improvements and environment-specific deployment enhancements over a two-month period. Leveraged Terraform and AWS to implement VPC Flow Logs security hardening, improve CloudWatch Logs retention, and enhance configuration portability across cloud partitions. Upgraded the Consignment API database to ensure consistency between local and deployed environments, reducing deployment risk. Refactored deployment logic to support environment-aware private subnet selection and tailored ElastiCache configuration, resulting in more reliable and performant deployments. Demonstrated expertise in Infrastructure as Code, IAM, and HCL, with a focus on reducing environment drift and improving production deployment consistency.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 review for nationalarchives/tdr-terraform-environments: Delivered environment-specific deployment configuration enhancements for production and integration deployments. Implemented environment-aware private subnet determination logic and refined Terraform Elasticache configuration to select the appropriate cache engine per environment, resulting in more reliable and performant deployments. Completed complementary refactors to consolidate checks under backend scope, including moving frontend checks to backend checks and updating Redis subnet handling with a ValKey upgrade, tightening security and consistency. These changes reduce environment drift, shorten deployment windows, and improve caching resilience. Technologies demonstrated include Terraform module design, environment-specific configuration, AWS Elasticache, and backend-driven checks. Business value: deterministic deployments, smoother environment promotions, and improved production performance.
