WORK HISTORY
Senior Devops Engineer @Government of Alberta
Justice Digital leads digital transformation for Alberta’s Ministry of Justice, modernizing court systems and mission-critical public services.Led cloud modernization initiatives delivering 99.99% availability, reducing infrastructure provisioning from days to hours through redesigned AWS platforms using Terraform, AWS CDK, and CloudFormation. Architected serverless microservices handling requests per second using AWS Lambda and SAM, and enabled zero-downtime deployments with blue/green strategies, automated rollback, and production runbooks.Streamlined operations across 5+ Kubernetes platforms (EKS/OpenShift) using GitOps and autoscaling, reducing manual intervention by 40%. Delivered ROI within 10 months by migrating core workloads to AWS EKS, significantly lowering licensing and operational costs.Standardized CI/CD and DevSecOps practices, improving deployment success rates to 98%+ and reducing build times by ~60% through GitHub Actions, secure-by-default pipelines, container hardening, IaC validation, and automated testing. Led enterprise migration from GitLab to GitHub Enterprise, saving ~800 engineering hours and introducing standardized branching, PR governance, and security controls.Strengthened security posture through centralized governance dashboards, SBOM-driven vulnerability response, and compliant AWS architectures (IAM least privilege, KMS, WAF). Designed HA/DR strategies achieving sub-5-minute failover and 100% DR test success. Accelerated analytics delivery by 40% using Glue, QuickSight, and RDS, and improved operational efficiency through AI-powered automation on AWS.
