Over a nine-month period, this developer engineered and maintained cloud infrastructure for the Ministry of Justice, focusing on security, reliability, and automation across the ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform and related repositories. They delivered features such as secure Application Load Balancer routing, dynamic firewall policies, and modular workspace management using Terraform and AWS. Their work included upgrading RDS engines, implementing network segmentation with Transit Gateway, and enhancing CI/CD governance with GitHub Actions. By addressing configuration drift, automating policy enforcement, and resolving deployment issues in Bash and HCL, they improved platform stability, access control, and compliance while supporting rapid, auditable infrastructure changes.
July 2026 monthly summary for developer work across MOJ platforms. Focused on enhancing network connectivity, tightening firewall policies, and improving testing capabilities for LAA WorkSpaces. Key outcomes include Transit Gateway routing enhancements, LAA firewall policy cleanup and rule-management, and sandbox-based testing enablement. A security regression was addressed via rollback to sandbox configuration, with traceable commits across both environments.

June 2026 delivered substantial platform hardening, networking optimization, and automation improvements across three repositories. The team implemented security and reliability upgrades in preproduction networking (RDS engine updates and HTTPS target groups), expanded threat detection with Suricata rules, and introduced modular workspace management for LAA environments. We also advanced CI/CD stability and policy governance through repeated pipeline maintenance and AWS IAM/policy enhancements, reducing deployment risk and enabling scalable growth.
