- Worked with Google Cloud representatives during Google Cloud migration to analyse and evaluate cloud services new to the company, design and redefine architectures compatible with existing processes. Used Infrastructure-as-Code and Terraform to explore and implement designed architectures in practice evaluating real-world performance and limitations. Heavily pushed for use of innovative services such as Cloud Run resulting in better performance and orders of magnitude cost savings.- Worked with stakeholders to further streamline and automate Elanco’s infrastructure and application processes. Developed an internal Express.js REST API offering unified visibility into existing and future applications, their characteristics and performance. Additionally developed a powerful React and Tailwind CSS based web interface to query the API. This provided rich reports on applications individually, in groups, by technologies / software stack / internal organisational units etc. Further extended and iterated on the project for it to take over part of the application approval and deployment process entirely.- Took part in the recruitment process for Software Engineering and IT roles. Designed and assessed technical interviews and helped with interviewing applicants and evaluating their performance. Participated in two “Client Projects” with Sheffield Hallam University where students worked on projects with Elanco as a client. Attended multiple meetings as an engineer from Elanco’s side to work with the students to convert requirements to more detailed designs and then solutions. Assisted with implementation details to meet Elanco’s standards. This included mentoring different students and groups in multiple engagements with Sheffield Hallam University.

- Lead a small team in automating Elanco’s infrastructure management process. Turned multiple manual infrastructure requests that took 2 weeks to complete into an automation which required no cloud platform knowledge and took 5 minutes to run. Used Infrastructure-as-code, Node.js, Terraform and deeply integrated with GitHub, GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps APIs to simplify infrastructure management. Successfully presented the solution to the company's CTO leading to the tool’s use as a basis for automation work both internally and on external vendor projects.- Co-designed and developed a next-generation toolkit for website development and management at Elanco. Tightly integrated TypeScript, React, Next.js with Kentico Konent Headless CMS to produce an intuitive visual “What You See Is What You Get” website building and editing experience which was drastically more flexible and capable. The new solution significantly reduced time to market and brought order of magnitude cost savings. Worked with users and stakeholders to collect feedback and enhance the solution. The project received C-Level sponsorship, runs over 100 webpages and is used in onboarding of 100+ site rebuilds as part of Bayer acquisition.- Designed and developed a Software Quality and Security Testing Framework for the DevOps team. Replaced multiple fragmented CI pipelines with a powerful and easy-to-use unified Python powered solution. Automatically identified and classified different parts of the codebase to run a maximally comprehensive suite of quality and security tests. Deeply integrated with Azure DevOps (API) to collect data and utilise its UI to display results, hints and suggestions as well as allow for project configuration. Provided more powerful scanning and testing capabilities and improved user experience by directly highlighting code snippets in question in Azure DevOps UI and providing comprehensive guidance on resolving issues. Final solution only required one line of code to use.
