Summary
Christopher Duraj is a DevOps engineer with 12 years' experience building and operating cloud-native, full‑stack systems across public and private sectors. He brings deep polyglot programming experience (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Scala, Ruby, Go, Java, C#) and a strong track record of delivering microservices, platform automation and SDN-enabled infrastructure at scale for organisations like BT, Sky and the Government Digital Service. Comfortable across the full lifecycle, he pairs hands-on coding (Django, Node, Play, Docker, Kubernetes) with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices (Terraform, Ansible, AWS). A pragmatic Agile advocate and technical lead, he has repeatedly moved between greenfield product work and high‑assurance government services such as registers and identity systems. Notably, his background spans both legacy enterprise stacks (C#, Delphi, SQL Server) and modern data/streaming tools (Flink, Elasticsearch), which helps him bridge teams during migrations and platform modernisation.
