About me

I'm a software engineer based in Melbourne. I design, build and deploy applications, with AI integration and automation now a substantial part of my work. That shift has changed both what I build and how I build it.

Working with changing models and APIs is already part of my day-to-day work. I handle the architecture, integration, testing and deployment, including checking output quality and managing running costs.

Experience

2023–present

Avanade

DevOps Architect — Major government department

Designed and maintained the DevOps environment for a government department project, including pipelines, branching strategy and developer support.

  • Pipeline design: Developed reusable YAML pipelines and templates, separating pull-request validation, versioning and packaging, and environment deployment into distinct workflows.
  • Quality and security: Implemented automated checks covering secret scanning, dependency vulnerabilities, linting, tests, code coverage and build validation to catch issues before release.
  • Release automation: Built automated versioning, tagging and packaging workflows using Azure Artifacts Universal Packages, with release notes, checksums and provenance metadata to improve traceability.
  • Deployment controls: Implemented and maintained deployment pipelines across lower and higher environments, including environment-specific configuration, validation and approval gates.
  • Troubleshooting and integration: Investigated build failures, repository and trigger configuration, pipeline conditions and deployment issues, working across development and DevOps teams to resolve delivery blockers.

DevOps Engineer — Major supermarket

Led development of a Terraform-based alerting system with a small team. Delivered ahead of schedule and received client praise for leadership and code quality.

Alongside my professional work

I developed Alpha Edge, Russian Arcade and Burning Airlines, extending my experience across full-stack development, API integration, data modelling and AI-enabled applications.

I built each application independently and continue to maintain it, handling requirements, architectural decisions, integration, review and verification.
