Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuke Steadman is a Senior DevOps Platform Engineer with 13 years of commercial experience building and operating cloud-native backends, tooling and platforms for clients across sectors. He combines deep hands-on expertise in AWS, Kubernetes (EKS/AKS), Terraform/Terragrunt and containerisation with a strong software engineering background in JavaScript/TypeScript, Java and PHP to bridge development and operations gaps. Luke excels at stabilising and modernising systems—converting monoliths to microservices, debugging hard-to-find issues, and improving processes, CI/CD and observability for teams that lack in-house engineering depth. He has led platform work at Steadweb and enterprise projects at Boots and First Utility, often pairing infrastructure-as-code with serverless and event-driven patterns. Comfortable on Linux and across version-control ecosystems, he thrives in agile teams and is drawn to challenging, hands-on problems rather than purely managerial roles. An unassuming polyglot engineer, he balances legacy-stack pragmatism with modern platform practices to deliver resilient, maintainable services.
