Summary
Connor Bell is a Senior DevOps Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience designing and operating cloud-native infrastructure, primarily on AWS using Terraform, Pulumi, Kubernetes and Linux. He has a proven track record as a solo Ops lead, transforming monolithic, manually managed VM fleets and long-running data workflows into highly automated, ephemeral, cost-optimised pipelines—one project cut data production costs by over 90% and reduced turnaround from a month to two days. Connor excels in CI/CD and scalable build systems, migrating teams from CircleCI to GitHub Actions with ephemeral runners and multi-arch Docker workflows to shave hours off pipelines. Comfortable across systems engineering and solutions architecture, he blends practical automation with performance and cost engineering, and brings a cybersecurity background (1:1) to infrastructure design. Based in England, he pairs deep cloud tooling expertise with a pragmatic focus on developer experience and reproducible, production-grade automation.
