Summary
👤
SeniorAdam Kinnell is a DevOps/SRE engineer based in Sydney with 8 years of hands-on experience designing, automating, and operating cloud-native systems across AWS and Azure. He combines cost-conscious infrastructure work—driving $1.3M USD in annualized AWS savings through analysis and execution—with practical developer experience improvements like bespoke CI/CD tooling and mass-upgrade automation for hundreds of microservices. Comfortable in serverless stacks (Node.js, Lambda, Step Functions) and observability (Grafana, OpenSearch), he also led platform reliability projects that cut environment provisioning from months to weeks and replaced costly config management with simpler Managed Identity and DSC solutions. Known for clear documentation, mentoring across junior-to-senior engineers, and a pragmatic “best tool for the job” approach, he balances security, automation, and developer experience to keep services resilient and cost-effective.
