Ian Wallis engineered robust observability and data processing features across the govuk-one-login/txma-infra and data-analytics-platform repositories. He introduced a dedicated Splunk Replay SNS topic with secure cross-account subscription policies, enabling scalable replay event processing and improving incident response workflows. Leveraging AWS CloudFormation, Step Functions, and SQL, Ian enhanced audit event replay infrastructure and resolved environment mapping issues to ensure accurate event tracking. He also expanded the ADM data refresh workflow, adding new validation and SQL execution steps to increase reliability and efficiency. His work demonstrated depth in infrastructure as code and data pipeline engineering, addressing operational and auditability challenges directly.
December 2025 monthly summary: Delivered key features and fixes across txma-infra and data-analytics-platform to strengthen auditability, data freshness, and reliability. Implemented Splunk Replay Infrastructure Enhancement (new SSM parameter to replay audit events into Splunk). Fixed Splunk Replay Topic ARN environment mappings to ensure accurate event tracking. Enhanced ADM Refresh Workflow with a third step, plus additional checks and a new SQL execution step, improving reliability and efficiency of data refresh. Business impact includes improved audit visibility, faster data refresh cycles, and more robust data pipelines. Demonstrated technologies: AWS (SSM, SNS, Splunk integration, Step Functions), SQL orchestration, and data pipeline engineering.
