Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Roberts is a Principal Site Reliability Engineer and Platform Architect with nine years focused on cloud-native infrastructure, automation, IaC, and CI/CD across large enterprises. He currently leads platform engineering at Elsevier, architecting secure GitHub Actions runner platforms, EKS/ArgoCD GitOps patterns, Backstage CI/CD, and large-scale GitHub migrations for thousands of users and repos. Adam has a strong security-first mindset—building OIDC token vending solutions and proof-of-concepts for GitHub Advanced Security—while also standardising observability and incident automation with New Relic, OpsGenie and serverless tooling. He’s equally comfortable designing HA Artifactory clusters and serverless ticket automation that scales into thousands of requests per month, all delivered as code with robust documentation. A pragmatic change agent, he has driven DevOps culture shifts and developer self-service at multiple organisations, insisting infrastructure is deployed via CI not ad-hoc machines. Based in the Greater Oxford area, he combines deep operational rigor with a knack for practical, scalable improvements that reduce manual toil.
