SEEKING WORK - London - Remote preferred, happy to visit you anywhere in the UK.
DevOps / Python consultant with a decade's experience building, hosting and fixing applications.
I work with engineering teams to make their products as scalable and robust as possible.  AWS, Kubernetes, load testing, lambdas, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it.
Recent projects include:
+ Re-hosting a large microservice node.js + RethinkDB web application on Google Cloud.  The resulting stack (serving a busy news site) is deployed to GKE with a set of Helm charts and a minimal amount of custom tooling for CDN &amp; image serving.  GKE has turned out to be low-maintenance and rock solid; I'll be glad to work with it again.
+ Rewriting a Python big data stack for a bioscience client.  Result was a robust, scalable system deployed with Terraform/Docker to spot instances managed by AWS Batch.  Benefits included better resilience, higher resource utilisation and vastly reduced cost/processing time.
+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application.  Updated a sprawling Django/Postgres app to fit modern containerised hosting, resulting in a stack that makes great use of k8s' scaling &amp; resiliency features.  Templating via Helm for multiple, namespaced stack instances &amp; continuous integration.
+ Another AWS/k8s/Docker stack, this time with a persistence layer comprising Cassandra &amp; Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper.  Prometheus &amp; Grafana for monitoring.
+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated crypto trading.  Didn't get rich, still posting on here.
