Development Meets Operations

My journey from development to DevOps has given me a unique perspective on how to bridge the gap between writing code and running it at scale. Here’s what shapes my approach:

  • End-to-end automation to eliminate manual processes
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) implementation that treats infrastructure with the same rigor as application code
  • Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines that ensure reliable, repeatable deployments
  • Monitoring and observability solutions that provide real-time insights into system health
  • Security-first mindset with automated compliance checks and infrastructure hardening

The Automation Imperative

In today’s fast-paced financial services environment, manual processes are not just inefficient—they’re a liability. My philosophy is simple:

  • If it’s not automated, it’s not complete. Every manual process is an opportunity for error and inefficiency
  • Infrastructure should be versioned, tested, and deployed through code, eliminating configuration drift and human error
  • Monitoring, alerting, and incident response should be automated and proactive, not reactive

What Some People Are Saying About Paul

Don’t just take my word for it - hear from some actual people that definitely exist

I have been on holiday with Paul and he arrived at the departure airport at the correct time and boarded the aircraft successfully.

One of the few engineers I have lent my car to. Not only did Paul bring it back with no additional scratches, but it passed its next MOT with only 1 advisory.

Paul once made me a really good website, but I didn’t pay him and he subsequently refused to put it online.
