GitHub Actions migration @ Scotiabank Temporal workflows in Go Pulumi / Terraform IaC GitOps with Argo CD / Kargo 4+ yrs cloud & platform engineering

About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Scotiabank on the Digital Accelerator team. Currently focused on migrating build and deploy workflows to GitHub Actions, designing the supporting cloud infrastructure with Terraform, and writing Temporal workflows in Go.

Before that, I spent two years at Afflo, a healthcare SaaS company, growing from a DevOps Engineer to Lead DevOps Engineer. I owned multi-cluster Kubernetes on GCP, GitOps release management with Argo CD and Kargo, Snowflake pipelines processing 100GB+ daily, and infrastructure supporting organ allocation software.

If I am not working at a computer I love to stay active and try to keep myself moving, whether that be the gym, rock climbing or biking.
