As Principal Consultant at Contino I build relationships and trust with clients starting from the initial pre-sales conversations into delivery.I'm accountable for the engineering solutions that we deliver to our clients and lead the teams that do hands-on delivery.

I've assisted with pre-sales, RFPs, and GTM strategies across DevOps, Cloud Native & Serverless technology.The technical parts of my engagements included AWS Platform (Account, Networking and Security configuration), CICD Pipelines, and working with development teams to help them deploy Serverless applications.The delivery parts included working with teams on Agile delivery models and assisting with architectural decisions.

Other parts of my role as Technical Principal include conducting interviews and mentoring other team members. I've been active in the Contino social club, the meetup community, our internal projects as well as initiatives that span our global teams.Within Contino, I improved our internal processes and also improved our daily lives by advocating for and implementing an internal search tool (Glean) for over 500 Continis.

[The Role]My role at Clemenger was focused on DevOps, Deployments & Web Dev. I provided estimates for projects, worked closely with many producers & was the technical lead for a number of projects. I decided to move on to further my career.[Responsibilities]• Web Development• Server Infrastructure / AWS• Estimates / Scoping• Documentation for developers[Internal projects - Puppet Scripts & Infrastructure as code]I implemented Puppet Scripts for all server builds. I was responsible for creating the process around server builds, the actual scripts & educating devs on how to implement them.[Internal projects - Deployment Scripts]Early on in my employment I automated our deployment process by creating a bash script that utilised rsync & svn. The script takes code changes from trunk and pushes them to the various deployment branches. A special mention needs to be made to Peter Hutchison as he acted as Producer & Q.A for this internal project, and did a fantastic job guiding me throughout.The goals of this script was:• To reduce the chance of developer error• To save time• To achieve consistency• To satisfy business rules (such as keeping a clean trunk, and special rules around production deployments)The result was a script that met the brief, and was immediately implemented in all projects moving forward. It was also praised by fellow developers.[Internal projects - Knowledge-base]I assisted in bringing to life our current knowledge-base. In particular I championed formal processes for developers.I fully documented the process for setting up an AWS account and associated resources (EC2s, Security Groups, Load Balancers, S3, Route53, RDS, CloudFront etc) and provided examples/defaults for each. I comprehensibly covered all areas of setup, including purchase and setup of SSLs, integration with deployment scripts, setup of DNS & Server Builds.
