Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Mallard is an engineering leader with 11+ years focused on DevOps, automation and cloud infrastructure, currently leading DevOps Tooling at Coles Group in Melbourne. He combines hands-on engineering—Puppet, Ansible, Terraform, AWS, vSphere and orchestration pipelines—with strategic architecture and team leadership to deliver secure, repeatable infrastructure at scale. His career spans large enterprise migrations, data centre moves and security uplift projects, and he has a track record of turning manual processes into “infrastructure as code” solutions that reduce risk and operating cost. Unusually for his level, he still ships tooling and prototypes—building web portals, inventory systems and automation POCs in Perl, PHP, Vue and JavaScript—bridging deep legacy UNIX experience with modern cloud practices.
