I’m a Cloud Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable cloud platforms,
driving cost optimisation, and enabling
engineering teams through automation. I bring the discipline of enterprise-scale
operations (Volkswagen: 3000+ AWS accounts)
together with the speed of greenfield startup infrastructure (Madison Logic: EKS +
GitOps platform from scratch).

Professional Experience
Senior Platform Engineer
Feb 2025- Dec 2025
Madison Logic
- Led a 6-member team to design and implement a production-grade Amazon EKS platform in 3 months, migrating 40 APIs from ECS and enabling 30+ developers to self-deploy.
- Built a GitOps workflow using GitLab CI and ArgoCD (apps-of-apps, ApplicationSets, hub-spoke model) to automate Docker builds, image versioning, and deployments across staging and production, reducing deployment time from 30 minutes to 10 minutes (3× faster).
- Created reusable Helm charts for APIs with Ingress, CloudFront, ExternalSecrets for DB credentials, HPA, and post-deploy jobs, standardising deployments and reducing service onboarding effort.
- Built centralised logging and monitoring for EKS (managed nodes and Fargate) using Grafana, Loki, Alloy, and Fluent Bit.
- Automated Cloudflare CNAME creation for new applications post-deployment, eliminating manual DNS steps.
- Developed custom Terraform modules for EKS (auto node groups, RBAC, networking) and integrated autoscaling with cost-efficient node pools to support scalable workloads.
- Drove 47% cost savings pre-migration by rightsizing 30+ ECS services using Boto3 automation.
- Migrated 15+ Node.js services to distroless Docker images, strengthening security posture and reducing image sizes.
- Automated Terraform state management by importing 983+ SSM parameters into a remote backend using a Python code generator, centralising configuration and reducing drift risk.
