Summary
Anne Thorniley is a Cloud Engineer based in London with eight years of platform and cloud experience built on a long foundation in Perl and systems engineering. She has moved from hands-on Perl development at major consumer sites to platform and cloud roles at ITV, Genomics England and now Trainline, specialising in AWS, Linux, Terraform, Ansible, Puppet and PostgreSQL. Anne blends infrastructure-as-code discipline with traditional sysadmin pragmatism, making her particularly effective at migrating legacy services into cloud-native, automated pipelines. Her background in multiple academic fields—including computer science, chemistry and English—gives her a rare mix of technical rigor and clear communication for cross-functional teams. Colleagues value her for reliably delivering resilient platforms and for bridging the gap between older codebases and modern DevOps practices.
