Summary
Ben March-cormie is a Head of Infrastructure & Platform Engineering with nine years of experience building cloud-native, highly available systems for fintech and energy platforms. He specializes in Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps (ArgoCD) and multi-region Azure architectures that serve global banking customers with active-active, low-latency routing. At Bots he led the platform from PoC to a fully terraformed, compliant production footprint—removing long-lived credentials, automating rightsizing, and embedding security and cost controls into the platform. Previously he scaled critical infrastructure at Kaluza (Ovo Energy) including Kafka disaster recovery and reusable Terraform modules used across dozens of teams. Ben combines hands-on engineering with pragmatic platform leadership, focusing on developer experience, release automation and observable, resilient systems. Based in Bristol, he’s a self-described “Kubernetes whisperer” who also maintains a public GitHub demonstrating his infrastructure tooling and IaC orientation.
