Summary
Barrie Bremner is a DevOps and Site Reliability specialist with two decades of hands-on experience delivering secure, highly available SaaS platforms across startups, government, and global media at scale. He specialises in AWS-native architectures, Terraform-driven infrastructure, and CI/CD practices, and has supported large user bases—including work on Disney+ Identity for ~200 million users—and PCI-compliant payment systems at GDS. As a consultant and founder of Interesting Angle Ltd, he blends pragmatic operability engineering with coaching, helping teams adopt repeatable, cost-conscious patterns for resilience and performance. He has repeatedly built multi-account landing zones, automated provisioning, and platform tooling (ECS Fargate, EKS, DynamoDB, Kinesis, Vault) to speed delivery and reduce incident load. Comfortable both in the weeds of automation scripts and in guiding organisational change, he often surfaces non-obvious improvements around testing, monitoring and runbook-driven team capability. Based in Newbury, he brings a rare combination of long-term infrastructure pedigree and practical startup agility.
