PROFILE
Ben Neill
Worked extensively on the hmcts/azure-public-dns repository to deliver robust DNS and infrastructure configuration for public-facing services. Focused on YAML-driven Infrastructure as Code, the developer implemented and maintained environment-specific DNS entries and routing for services like darts-proxy, PDDA, and PDPM across demo, staging, and production. Their approach emphasized configuration management and DevOps best practices, ensuring traceable, auditable changes through Git and pull requests. By updating DNS records, TTL settings, and endpoint configurations, they improved deployment reliability, reduced operational risk, and enhanced service availability. The work supported environment parity and streamlined access, enabling consistent, reliable public endpoints for critical services.
