Senior🎓
Top SchoolMorgan Rowse is a Platform Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building reliable, cloud-native infrastructure and SRE practices across financial services, telco, and startups from Johannesburg. They've led cloud engineering teams, architected reusable IaC blueprints and GitOps pipelines, and reduced toil through self-service portals and automated production readiness reviews. At OM Bank and other roles they implemented SLO/SLA governance, synthetic testing, and pager-routing architectures using tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog and PagerDuty. Morgan combines a developer background in full‑stack web apps with deep operational discipline, having moved from Laravel and CI/CD work into large-scale AWS migrations and cost optimization. Known to joke "It's always DNS," they bring a practical focus on reliability details that often hide behind big-system design. They hold a BCom (Hons) in Information Systems and often pair technical leadership with hands-on recovery during high-pressure incidents.
