Senior Cloud and Systems Engineer

AWS & Terraform Cloud Engineering, Linux/OSS Systems, Agentic AI Best Practices

About

I'm a Senior Cloud Engineer on Team Internet's UK Cloud Team, where I've spent the last four years working on AWS and Terraform-driven infrastructure — starting from an initial cloud migration — with ongoing ownership of cross-account architecture, disaster recovery, and security compliance for the platforms that keep the business running. My roots are in Linux and open-source systems administration, which is still very much part of how I work today, not just where I started. I'm also a genuine, early adopter of agentic AI-assisted engineering, improving quality and workflows through it. I also follow the wider AI industry — reading, experimenting, and possibly adopting better techniques and workflows as they come along.
