PROFILE
Edd Almond
Worked on the NHSDigital/eligibility-signposting-api repository, delivering a robust API platform with a focus on security, reliability, and operational maturity. Over six months, built and maintained infrastructure using Terraform and AWS, integrating API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB with features like mTLS, KMS encryption, and point-in-time recovery. Enhanced CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, automated compliance checks, and artifact management, while improving developer workflows through local development environments and detailed documentation. Applied Python and Bash scripting for automation, implemented strict IAM governance, and strengthened monitoring with CloudWatch, resulting in a scalable, secure backend that supports rapid iteration and regulatory compliance.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Delivered a consolidated Infra as Code release for NHSDigital/eligibility-signposting-api, enhancing environment isolation, security, and governance across multiple environments. Implemented sandbox templating and per-environment configuration, bootstrap deployment scaffolding, and comprehensive networking hardening. Established dev backend config with VPC flow logging and identity checks, while preparing for SSM disablement for certificate provisioning. Unified Terraform backends across environments, centralized repository details as variables, and early OIDC/GitHub Actions governance including permissions boundaries and test workflows. Improved documentation, code quality (Vale) and compliance checks (Checkov) to strengthen maintainability and security.
