PORTFOLIO — BUILD v1.0

Hands-on across cloud infrastructure, Linux, monitoring and automation — from financial trading platforms to my own Proxmox homelab.

About
I've got hands-on experience across cloud infrastructure, Linux, monitoring and automation, with a strong interest in how systems are built, connected and kept running reliably. I've supported AWS environments, troubleshot live production issues, and replaced manual processes with automation that actually holds up.
Outside of work I run my own Proxmox homelab to build on that experience hands-on, and I'm currently working towards the AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification.

Experience
Client Implementation Engineer
Beeks Financial Cloud Limited, Renfrew
- Deployed and configured Linux capture appliances and time-series analytics tooling, including QuestDB, InfluxDB and Grafana, supporting end-to-end latency monitoring across financial trading infrastructure.
- Worked across Linux, networking and monitoring environments to configure client implementations and investigate deployment issues.
Application Support Engineer
Unicard Ltd, East Kilbride
- Supported hybrid AWS and on-premise ticketing infrastructure serving up to 50 transport operators, working to SLAs ranging from 20 minutes to two days depending on incident severity.
- Diagnosed and resolved a recurring production outage taking containers offline after a scheduled 2am refresh, tracing the root cause to an IAM permissions error in the ECS task definition.
- Managed container redeployments through ECS and GitLab CI pipelines, using CloudWatch logs and monitoring to investigate live incidents and identify faults.
- Used diagnostic SQL across Oracle and PostgreSQL production databases to investigate issues including incorrect rail card and account records, supporting refunds and duplicate remediation.
System Support Assistant
Virtual Services Group, East Kilbride
- Cut a two-day manual customer setup process to around one hour by building an automated import solution capable of processing thousands of records per customer.
- Consolidated three disconnected systems — SimPRO, SFG20 and Zahara — into a joined-up workflow using REST API integrations, reducing manual re-keying of maintenance schedules and non-billable invoices.
- Automated the SFG20 maintenance schedule sync into SimPRO across roughly 300 assets and 6,000 scheduled checks, removing a recurring manual process that was a major source of missed and incorrectly scheduled maintenance.
- Integrated Zahara invoice generation with SimPRO via API, replacing a manual assignment process where non-billable invoices could be allocated to the wrong job or left unassigned.
