PROFILE
Fergal Brennan
Worked on the ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments repository to deliver foundational DevOps infrastructure and secure cloud environments for backend services. Focused on Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and YAML, the work included Kubernetes namespace scaffolding, RBAC, resource limits, and network policies to enforce governance and accelerate onboarding. Enhanced AWS integration by improving IAM policies, consolidating Terraform module interfaces, and implementing AWS SSM Parameter Store for dynamic configuration. Introduced Kubernetes secrets for managing Athena roles and deployed a service pod for in-cluster AWS CLI access. Emphasized maintainability through robust documentation, supporting faster configuration, tighter access control, and streamlined developer workflows across environments.
