Worked on the govuk-one-login/tech-docs repository to design and implement foundational Spoke VPC infrastructure for containerized applications, focusing on scalable and secure deployment patterns. Leveraged AWS CloudFormation and Infrastructure as Code principles, using YAML to define resources such as Fargate clusters, Application Load Balancers, and security groups. Introduced auto-scaling and load balancing to support resilient workloads, then iterated on the architecture by experimenting with subnet configurations and ultimately rolling back Spoke VPC resources after architectural review. This work improved deployment reliability, clarified networking tradeoffs, and informed future governance for cloud networking and container orchestration within the project.

June 2026 — Tech-docs (govuk-one-login/tech-docs) monthly summary focused on Spoke VPC architecture experimentation, evaluation, and governance. Implemented initial Spoke VPC template adjustments to switch from Firewall Subnets to Public Subnets to address resource allocation and functionality, followed by a rollback that removed Spoke VPC resources and eliminated Spoke VPC architecture from the deployment pipeline due to architectural reconsiderations. This cycle provided actionable engineering insights, stabilized the deployment pipeline, and informed future networking decisions.
