Over a nine-month period, contributed to the ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments repository by delivering features that enhanced observability, security, and infrastructure reliability. Developed and maintained Prometheus alerting, implemented AWS RDS upgrades, and managed cloud resources using Terraform and YAML. Introduced real-time monitoring for payment and supplier data workflows, optimized container memory allocation, and rolled out Redis caching before later decommissioning it to simplify environments. Improved configuration hygiene and governance through tagging and provider cleanup, while streamlining secrets management and alerting to reduce operational risk. Demonstrated a disciplined DevOps approach, focusing on infrastructure as code, cloud security, and multi-environment consistency across deployments.
June 2026: Focused infrastructure simplification and CI/CD readiness for the cloud-platform-environments repo. Decommissioned Redis caching to reduce complexity and risk, and laid groundwork for Concourse CI/CD integration. Demonstrated disciplined change management across multiple environments and reinforced security by reducing secret footprint. No customer-facing code changes this month; the work is foundational for improved reliability, cost efficiency, and future caching redesign.

In April 2025, delivered a key observability enhancement in ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments by introducing the CCR-Payment-Post-Errors Prometheus alert. The alert flags any new payment post errors within a 5-minute window, with severity labels and annotations that include a runbook link and a dashboard for rapid troubleshooting. This improves payment reliability, reduces MTTR for payment post errors, and strengthens proactive incident detection across the platform.
