David
Senior AWS Platform Engineer | Cloud Governance & Developer Enablement I help engineering teams build cloud foundations that scale without creating security debt, cost sprawl, or platform bottlenecks. With 15+ years in infrastructure and 5+ focused on multi-account AWS environments in fintech and enterprise, I bring hands-on experience across the full platform stack: governance policies, landing zones, reusable Terraform modules, CI/CD pipelines, and self-service patterns that let product teams ship independently. Recent results include cutting cloud spend by €3,000-€6,000/month through automated governance across 40+ AWS accounts, reducing deployment times from 40 to 5 minutes, and enabling multiple product teams to provision infrastructure without platform team involvement on routine work. I work across the full engagement spectrum from short advisory reviews to long-term embedded roles, and I'm equally comfortable doing architecture design and hands-on implementation. Available for: AWS platform engineering, cloud governance, IaC foundations, landing zone design, CI/CD standardisation, and developer enablement.
