Over a three-month period, contributed to the ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments repository by building and enhancing cloud infrastructure for secure, scalable deployments. Established multi-environment Kubernetes setups with dedicated namespaces and RBAC, supporting isolated development, pre-production, and production workflows. Leveraged Terraform and YAML to introduce AWS ECR modules with deletion protection, standardized resource naming, and improved secret management. Enhanced AWS SQS integration by refining queue policies, implementing FIFO DLQs, and enabling IRSA/OIDC-based access for EKS workloads. Focused on infrastructure as code and DevOps practices, the work improved deployment reliability, governance, and security while reducing technical debt and streamlining future onboarding and testing.

December 2025 monthly summary focused on key technical and business outcomes. Delivered a scalable multi-environment strategy for the Prisoner Finance General Ledger API, establishing Development, Pre-production, and Production environments via Kubernetes configurations, namespaces, RBAC, and environment-specific governance to support isolated, governed releases. Introduced a Terraform-based AWS ECR module to improve repository lifecycle management with deletion protection, and subsequently removed unused ECR configurations to simplify the infrastructure and reduce maintenance risk. Implemented naming and metadata hygiene across Terraform and certificate configurations, including regex-aligned application names, corrected team names, and reliable secret references. Expanded deployment governance by adding a reviews team and enforcing a production readiness label. Rebuilt the Development environment after cleanup and prepared Pre-production for testing. Overall impact: improved deployment reliability, governance, security posture, and reduced technical debt, enabling faster, safer releases with clearer ownership and traceability.
