      Apr 2018 - May 2022

      My time as a DevOps engineer at the Economist consisted of being embedded in several teams to encourage an ownership culture for the software we build. This involved closely pairing with fellow engineers to think about the deployment and runtime environments of our software up-front to shorten feedback loops. During this time I also had plenty of opportunity to exercise my cloud architecture skills and write some IaC, Python, NodeJS and GoLang.
