Greetings, James. Welcome to the DEV Community. I know you'll find a lot of liked-minded folks with interests and knowledge similar to your own here. Look forward to hearing more about your experiences!
Hey everyone 👋
I’m James, a Senior Solution Architect and DevOps Engineer with a background in building and operating cloud-native platforms at scale.
I specialize in turning complex business requirements into secure, highly available, production-ready systems — bridging architecture strategy with hands-on engineering.
🔧 What I work with
- AWS (EKS, VPC, IAM, RDS, S3, CloudFront)
- Kubernetes & Platform Engineering
- Terraform & GitOps (ArgoCD / Flux)
- CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
- Observability & Reliability (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, ELK, Datadog)
Over the years, I’ve led:
- Large-scale cloud migrations
- Zero-downtime Kubernetes transformations
- DevOps and Developer Experience (DevEx) initiatives
- Platform standardization that reduced costs and improved delivery velocity
I’ve worked across consulting, SaaS, and enterprise environments — often acting as a technical lead and trusted advisor, helping teams move faster without sacrificing security or stability.
🎯 Why I’m here
I joined Dev.to to:
- Share real-world lessons from cloud & platform engineering
- Learn from other engineers solving hard problems at scale
- Connect with folks building reliable systems and developer platforms
I’m especially interested in discussions around platform engineering, DevOps maturity, Kubernetes operations, and observability.
Looking forward to learning and contributing here — feel free to say hi or ask me anything! 👋
