PROFILE
Adam Coles
Over a nine-month period, contributed to the ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments repository by engineering robust cloud infrastructure and CI/CD automation for civil claims and LAA Claim for Payment services. Leveraging Terraform, Kubernetes, and AWS, delivered multi-environment provisioning, secure secrets management, and standardized tagging to improve deployment reliability and governance. Implemented Infrastructure as Code practices to automate environment setup, enforce network policies, and manage PostgreSQL and Redis resources. Enhanced security through OIDC integration and centralized secret modules, while maintaining code hygiene and reducing configuration drift. The work enabled faster, auditable deployments and improved scalability, supporting both development and production workflows across multiple environments.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Delivered notable platform-environment improvements for the ministryofjustice cloud-platform-environments repo, focusing on deployment reliability, security, and scalable data architecture. Key outcomes include cleanup and migration of the Stub Civil Claims API deployment, provisioning and hardening of LAA Claim for Payment environments across Dev/UAT/Staging (Kubernetes namespaces, RBAC, quotas/limits, network policies, labels, service accounts, secrets management, and Redis via ElastiCache), and architectural changes to the database layer (removing RDS from UAT/middle tier and adopting PostgreSQL RDS with read replicas). These changes reduce deployment friction, strengthen identity and network security, and improve data resiliency and scalability across environments.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Delivered foundational development environment support for the LAA Claim for Payment project in ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments. Key work includes Kubernetes namespace scaffolding for backend and frontend with core controls (RoleBinding, LimitRange, ResourceQuota, NetworkPolicy) and Terraform provider scaffolding for AWS, GitHub, and Kubernetes with version constraints. Implemented ECR repositories and Kubernetes service accounts for both backend and frontend environments, including OIDC integration with GitHub and optional GitHub Actions support. Upgraded the ECR credentials Terraform module to 7.1.1 to leverage fixes and improvements. Where applicable, refined scope by removing a duplicate namespace to tighten environment boundaries. These changes reduce provisioning time, improve security and access controls, and strengthen CI/CD readiness across environments.
