PROFILE

Davidmiddleton

During a four-month period, Daniel Middleton engineered infrastructure improvements and traffic management features for the companieshouse/ch.gov.uk repository, focusing on AWS ECS, Terraform, and Infrastructure as Code. He delivered staged migration of traffic routing from ECS to Mesos, enabling safer deployments and improved scalability by implementing listener-level routing controls and rollback paths. Daniel also enhanced configuration hygiene in the limited-partnerships-api and limited-partnerships-web repositories by removing duplicate Terraform variables, reducing risk of misconfiguration. His work demonstrated strong attention to maintainability and deployment resilience, with careful validation in staging environments and clear commit traceability, reflecting a thoughtful and methodical engineering approach.

November 2025: Delivered a traffic management migration to a Mesos/ECS-based architecture for companieshouse/ch.gov.uk, enabling staged validation and safer production routing. The migration involved disabling stage listeners, activating ECS listeners to route traffic, and validating performance under real load. Two commits completed the workflow: 'Switching traffic to mesos in staging' and 'Switching traffic back to ECS'. No major bugs were recorded; the work focused on architecture modernization with a clear rollback path back to ECS. Business impact includes improved service availability, resilience during deployments, and readiness for future scaling.

Month: 2025-09 – Repository: companieshouse/ch.gov.uk. Focused on infrastructure routing control to support migration/maintenance in staging. Delivered a feature that can disable the ECS listener across staging profiles to route traffic away during maintenance and re-enable it to route traffic back to staging ECS instances. This reduces maintenance downtime and risk by allowing controlled, reversible traffic routing without affecting production.
