Top SchoolChris Forbes is a Senior DevOps Engineer based in Edinburgh with 11 years of experience building reliable, auditable deployment pipelines across finance and IT services. He has deep hands-on expertise in infrastructure-as-code and automation using Terraform, Ansible, Packer, Chef, Docker and custom scripting, and has implemented CI/CD workflows with TeamCity, Azure DevOps, Octopus and GoCD. At buildit he helped design a GitOps-style automated deployment product, and at Tindeco he now applies that operational rigor within financial services. His background in Games Development gives him a practical, systems-minded approach to problem solving and tooling, often preferring pragmatic custom tools when off-the-shelf solutions fall short.
