Lucy Astley-Jones engineered robust cloud infrastructure and data workflows for the ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments repository over six months, delivering ten features and resolving critical reliability issues. She architected event-driven integrations using AWS Lambda, SQS, and IAM, enabling secure, scalable data ingestion and processing for electronic monitoring and alcohol monitoring domains. Leveraging Terraform and YAML, Lucy automated infrastructure provisioning, enhanced operational governance, and improved deployment reliability through refined permissions, alerting, and metadata management. Her work addressed data accessibility, lifecycle governance, and preproduction readiness, demonstrating depth in Infrastructure as Code and cloud services while ensuring resilient, auditable, and maintainable platform operations across environments.
March 2026: Delivered two critical features in ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments, focusing on data accessibility and preproduction readiness. Enhanced data accessibility by adding and correcting IAM S3 permissions for FMS data in the electronic monitoring environment (commits 561baa272f427218c58cde4ef0c9f7b34b4bb37c, b4443e0b0fcfa50b720b50932e92c53e634b98df). Implemented fan-out event handling for preproduction with an event queue and updated Terraform/Lambda triggers (commits 85f443bbbf61035db8f3dc2bb3f51a5c756e799b, ec213259a8c85fc413d923c15488034148ec0c0e, 201234d8ecdb6721c8220d440cef2962e7493802). Minor fixes (bucket scope correction and a typo) were applied to stabilize deployments. Overall impact: faster data access for users, improved preproduction reliability, and a scalable event-driven architecture. Technologies/skills demonstrated: IAM/S3 permissions, Lambda/event-driven design, Terraform automation, and S3 notification configurations.

December 2025: Delivered key reliability and throughput improvements for the Ministry of Justice modernisation platform environments. Fixed the MDSS cleanup queue URL and Terraform references to ensure reliable message processing and error handling; added the SQS queue URL to the Load MDSS Lambda to enable message queuing; and enhanced resilience by extending SQS retention, pausing Lambda concurrency for testing, and increasing event source concurrency to improve processing capacity. These changes reduce operational risk, improve data processing reliability, and enable more robust testing and deployment.
