Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolIsawan Millican is a Staff Platform Engineer based in London with 11 years’ experience building resilient cloud and hybrid infrastructure for financial services. At Pirum Systems he designs and implements highly available AWS ECS solutions, having led the creation of an AWS landing zone, Terraform-driven IaC pipelines, and a multi-site private datacentre migration with minimal business disruption. Comfortable across networking (BGP, private peering), security (whitebox firewalls, Fortigate), CI/CD (GitLab, Jenkins) and config management (Ansible), he bridges deep systems knowledge with practical delivery. His background in physics and research software—where he refactored and improved diagnostic MATLAB tools and explored deep learning for medical imaging—gives him a data-driven, analytical approach to platform engineering and uncommon fluency communicating technical ideas to non-specialists.
