Experience
I started out writing software, then pivoted into DevOps during my final-year engineering project. Since then the work has progressed through infrastructure automation and Kubernetes/GitOps platform delivery into operating production AWS systems day to day.

Selected Projects
- GitHub Actions authenticates to AWS with OIDC and temporary credentials instead of long-lived AWS keys.
- Docker images are built once, transferred between CI jobs, published to ECR with immutable commit-SHA tags, and deployed as the exact same artifact.
- The delivery path reaches an ECS/Fargate development service using scoped IAM permissions, with deliberate validation and failure testing.
- GitHub Actions CI runs lint and build checks on pushes to main and pull requests targeting main; deployed to Vercel with Web Analytics enabled.
- Docker support for containerized builds alongside the primary Vercel deployment path.
- Structured metadata, sitemap, robots, Open Graph, and JSON-LD for search and social presentation.
- Built with accessibility in mind — semantic landmarks, keyboard navigation, and reduced-motion support.
