David Courtey

I’m a DevOps tech lead and backend engineer. I automate infrastructure so developers can ship on their own, and I keep critical applications running on AWS, Kubernetes and Terraform.

    AXA

    DevOps tech lead consultant

    I led a team of three DevOps engineers running 12 critical applications across 8 to 10 environments on OpenShift and AWS, at a 99.9% SLA or better. Automated blue/green deployments brought a release under one minute.

    • Moved the CI pipelines onto a reusable Tekton framework.
    • Wrote a generic Helm chart that every project adopted.
    • Built a self-service platform for ephemeral cloud environments.
    • Kept the infrastructure as code, in reusable Terraform modules.
    • Set up observability with Prometheus, Grafana and PagerDuty.
