Matthew Price engineered robust cloud infrastructure and security enhancements across multiple Ministry of Justice repositories, including modernisation-platform and analytical-platform. He delivered features such as centralized S3 access logging, configurable secrets rotation, and SSO-based contractor auditing, using Terraform, HCL, and AWS IAM to automate and standardize access controls. His work included refining CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, aligning S3 access roles across environments, and updating on-call rota configurations to improve incident response. By focusing on infrastructure as code, configuration management, and security auditing, Matthew reduced configuration drift, improved governance, and enabled safer, more auditable changes across complex data and analytics platforms.
