Hey, I'm Jack
I'm a platform engineer who builds internal tools from scratch. DORA metrics platforms, test orchestration systems, observability stacks— the stuff that makes 400 deploys/month actually work.
The Story
From graduate QA to platform engineering. Here's how I got here.
QA Engineer
Graduated with a BSc in Computer Science. Jumped straight into a massive monolith → microservices migration, building the first CI/CD pipelines from scratch.
Platform Engineer
Took ownership of the platform. Built observability from zero, implemented GitOps with ArgoCD, and designed deployment automation for 20+ services.
Site Reliability Engineer
Led platform initiatives. Created DORA metrics tooling, security automation, and developer experience improvements. 400+ deploys/month.
MSc AI + Consulting
Pursuing a Masters in AI while consulting on platform engineering. Exploring the intersection of ML and infrastructure automation.
How I Work
Not about buzzwords or over-engineering. Here's what I actually believe.
Pragmatic over Perfect
I build what actually solves your problem, not what looks good in a Medium article. Working software beats theoretical perfection.
Business Impact First
Faster deploys and fewer incidents matter more than cool tech. Every decision should trace back to real value.
End-to-End Ownership
I don't just consult and disappear. I stick around to make sure it works, iterate, and hand over properly.
GitOps Everything
If it's not in Git, it doesn't exist. Declarative configs, audit trails, and the ability to recreate anything from source.
Tech Arsenal
The tools I reach for when building platforms that scale.
Orchestration
Observability
Cloud & IaC
Languages
Security
Data
Currently Studying
MSc in Artificial Intelligence
Building on my BSc in Computer Science to explore the intersection of AI and platform engineering. Excited about applying ML/AI to infrastructure automation, anomaly detection in observability systems, and intelligent platform tooling.
Still taking on platform engineering consulting alongside studies.
Sound Like a Fit?
If you're dealing with Kubernetes chaos, missing observability, or slow deployments— let's chat. I'd love to hear about what you're building.
