Simon.mitchell
Worked on the ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments repository, delivering features and fixes to enhance cloud infrastructure reliability, security, and operational efficiency. Over five months, built and maintained Kubernetes namespaces, RBAC policies, and audit queue systems, focusing on environment isolation and access control. Used Terraform and YAML to standardize resource naming, automate deployments, and manage PostgreSQL upgrades across multiple environments. Addressed CI/CD modernization by migrating from CircleCI to GitHub Actions and cleaning up legacy secrets. Improved audit data handling with new queues and DLQs, refined IAM policies, and ensured consistent configuration management, demonstrating depth in AWS, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code practices.

May 1, 2026May 2026 focused on strengthening deployment isolation, access control, and production-readiness for the HMPPS Prison Users API. Delivered environment-scoped Kubernetes namespaces with robust RBAC and network policies, stabilized preprod/stage readiness, standardized RDS naming and Terraform behavior to ensure reliable deployments, and cleaned up configuration to reduce operational risk. These changes improve security posture, data integrity, and faster, safer releases across dev, preprod, and prod.

22 Commits
Mar 1, 2026March 2026 focused on security hygiene and CI/CD modernization by removing legacy CircleCI service accounts after migration to GitHub Actions and cleaning up stale secrets across multiple services and environments. Key cleanup targets included token-verification-api, hmpps-auth, hmpps-audit, hmpps-external-users, hmpps-manage-users, hmpps-nomis-user-roles, and hmpps-subject-access, with a dedicated audit queue secrets cleanup for hmpps-audit-poc-dev. These changes reduce attack surface, simplify IAM, and improve maintenance and auditability across dev, pre-prod/stage, and prod environments. Work delivered through 3 change sets comprising 22 commits, reflecting thorough cross-team coordination, validation in non-prod, and clean promotion to prod. Technologies demonstrated include Git, GitHub Actions migration, CI/CD governance, IAM/secret management, and cross-service collaboration, delivering tangible business value of faster onboarding, reduced risk, and easier future migrations.
