Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Lane is a Platform Engineer with nine years’ experience building and automating resilient, secure infrastructure for defence, cybersecurity and enterprise customers. He designs and operates CI/CD pipelines, containerised workloads and virtualised platforms using tools like Ansible, Terraform, Docker, GitOps and vSphere, and has a track record of turning legacy services into scalable, low‑tech‑debt deployments. Comfortable across physical and cloud-adjacent infrastructure, he’s delivered 24/7 availability for multi-domain, multi-timezone environments and supported large user bases with pragmatic documentation and on-call ownership. Colleagues rely on him to accelerate data science and engineering projects by delivering tailored VMs and containerised environments that remove bottlenecks. He pairs deep operational know-how (Citrix, ESXi, Proxmox) with a continual curiosity for new tooling, and often writes internal automation tools that quietly speed up team workflows.
