Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKeir Badger is a seasoned DevOps consultant with over two decades of hands-on experience designing and automating CI/CD pipelines for large financial institutions and fintechs. Based in London, he combines deep infrastructure-as-code expertise (Terraform, Chef/Ansible), cloud-native tooling (AWS, Docker), and automation (Jenkins, Python, shell) to deliver secure, auditable production systems that scale. He has repeatedly cut deployment times by orders of magnitude, managed hundreds of Jenkins masters, and built cost-efficient autoscaling services that bring new build nodes online in under a minute. Keir’s career includes extensive international delivery across Africa, the Caribbean and Europe, and he played a key role in architectures that passed SOC 2 audits and sustained long-term production use. A pragmatic self-starter and problem-solver, he bridges legacy UNIX environments and modern cloud platforms while keeping operational security and repeatability front and center. Beyond tooling, he’s known for operationalizing build integrity—locking artefacts between build and deploy—and for transferring knowledge through hands-on training engagements.
