April 2026: Delivered a robust SFTP-to-S3 transfer pipeline in ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments with full logging, SNS-based notifications, and lifecycle management. Implemented dedicated bucket provisioning in the component, ensured correct bucket naming and references, and configured 7-day expiration with noncurrent version retention. Fixed multiple edge issues including notification count handling. Strengthened IAM policies for S3 topics to prevent empty/incorrect ARNs and ensure reliable SNS permissions. These changes improve secure data transfer, observability, and governance, enabling faster, auditable workflows and reducing manual maintenance.

March 2026 was focused on infrastructure simplification, security hardening, and operational reliability across three repos. Key outcomes include decommissioning cloud-hosted databases by removing MySQL and PostgreSQL configurations from Terraform in cloud-platform-environments; enhancing access control with a new SSO group for ccms-ebs-ssogen in modernisation-platform; improving WAF maintenance reliability by migrating scheduling to AWS Scheduler, correcting ARN references, and cleaning up legacy code in modernisation-platform-environments; and aligning security posture by updating production firewall IPs for cwa_database.

February 2026 focused on stabilizing production infrastructure, enhancing disaster recovery, and tightening security across environments. Delivered five key features and changes across scheduling, container images, storage notifications, backups, and network routing, driving reliability and operational efficiency. These updates reduce manual intervention, improve cross-environment consistency, and strengthen security and recoverability. Technologies demonstrated include AWS EventBridge, container orchestration, Terraform hygiene, Slack integration, and encryption-enabled backups.
