Alex Westby is a Head of DevOps at Mortgage Advice Bureau. Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Alex for a little over a year at Picsolve International where Alex had risen to DevOps lead. He was instrumental in maintaining the effective delivery of existing services, whilst simultaneously designing and building a next generation global infrastructure utilising the latest AWS technology and bleeding edge tools. Technically strong, innovative and interested in continued growth, Alex's key strength is his willingness to take accountability for the delivery of services, support his team mates and engage fully with the direction and needs of the business. This loyalty and engagement brings out the best in his team mates and ensures that, even in difficult circumstances, communication is maintained, options are clearly thought through and both tactical and long term considerations are reviewed to ensure business value. Over the months, we had numerous challenging moments and spent a great deal of time working to improve systems and processes. Whether in the office or on-call at 2am (sometimes in different countries) having a team mate, leader, pragmatic technical expert on my team ensured I always knew we would come out the other side of challenges stronger. You simply cannot ask for more! Alex would be an asset to any organisation and has the technical ability, paired with pragmatic and accountable behaviours, to be a technical lead and/or architect moving businesses forward on the latest technology."
