Andrew in a few words
I am an dedicated Platform Engineer with several years of experience architecting and implementing complex solutions for real business need. I believe in a client first experience where my ultimate aim is to create a solution which makes you happy, not just relying on copy and paste solutions. I have worked in large scale organisations and created enterprise scale architecture and small businesses where a move to the Cloud provided immediate improvements in cost optimisation and security.

My expertise is in AWS, Cost Management, Security, and Enterprise architecture. I am passionate about engaging closely with business need, culture, and values before creating a valuable solution. I place a great deal of value in assuring that the solution is communicated in such a way that all stakeholders, tech or non-tech, are happy.

I enjoy working in all areas of the business, from core development teams to HR, to insure that every solution is tailored for excellence. This means it offers business value, is secure, optimised for cost, reliable, powerful, and, most importantly, makes the lives of every user better.
