Cloud architecture that holds up in production.
I design, build, and secure AWS environments for regulated enterprises, and I have delivered for Santander, Experian, Refinitiv (now LSEG), and TMW Unlimited. Landing zones, platform engineering, estate audits, and GenAI on AWS, done properly.
Available now for contract and permanent roles. Remote, or hybrid in London.
Enterprise experience
6+ years designing, building, and running production AWS environments for FTSE 100 and S&P 500 businesses
What I do
Cloud architecture first, security always, and the engineering depth to build what I design
Cloud Architecture & Platform Engineering
Landing zones, multi-account strategy, Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD on AWS, with Azure and GCP where you need them. You get a platform your team can operate: infrastructure as code, working pipelines, and documentation.
AWS Security Posture & Estate Audits
Prowler against the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark and AWS Foundational Security Best Practices, covering IAM and Identity Centre, Organizations and SCPs, with ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials alignment. You get a prioritised remediation roadmap and an executive summary your board can read.
GenAI on AWS
Bedrock knowledge base architecture, Bedrock Guardrails, RAG design, and OWASP LLM Top 10 defences. You get a GenAI architecture that is private, governed, and measurable before you commit to a build.
Product Build & Automation
Full-stack product builds and automation when the engagement calls for it. I have taken two products from idea to production on my own, so I know what the platform underneath has to support.

AWS estate security and readiness audit
I carried out a full security and readiness audit of the client's AWS estate: Prowler against the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark and AWS Foundational Security Best Practices, across all commercial regions.
- IAM and Identity Centre, Organizations and SCPs
- Networking, S3, Athena and Glue
- Logging, monitoring, and Bedrock/AI readiness
- Output: a 32-page report with a 3-page executive summary and a prioritised remediation roadmap
Bedrock knowledge platform architecture
I designed a Bedrock-based knowledge platform for the same client, specified to production standard and ready to build.
- Terraform-bootstrapped landing zone with dedicated Log Archive and Security Tooling accounts
- SCPs and Resource Control Policies, private VPC with PrivateLink
- Identity Centre-authenticated chat interface with citations
- Bedrock Guardrails, OWASP LLM Top 10 defences, and a KMS customer-managed key strategy
- An evaluation framework for answer quality
Enterprise track record
The environments I build for clients are the same kind I have run in-house.
