Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexandra Spillane is a Platform Engineer with 12+ years of experience designing and operating cloud-native deployment platforms and CI/CD tooling, most recently driving platform work at Montu after a long tenure at Expedia Group. She has led large-scale CD standardisation, migrated tens of thousands of pipelines to Spinnaker, and architected EC2/ECS/Lambda provisioning and deployment automation using Terraform, CloudFormation and AWS services. Equally comfortable in code and ops, she’s proficient in Java, Ruby, Go, Python and shell scripting and has deep expertise across J2EE tuning, DNS, virtualization, load balancing and security controls. Alexandra combines systems administration roots with developer-focused platform design, often improving developer experience by wrapping complex AWS primitives into easy-to-use internal services. An underappreciated strength is her track record of pragmatic migration work—moving legacy platforms (e.g., Amazon Linux 1) and large fleets to modern, cost-optimised infrastructure without disrupting customers. Based in Queensland, she excels at turning thorny operational problems into repeatable, automated solutions.
