Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNigel Banks is a seasoned DevOps engineer with around 15–20 years of experience who bridges build-and-release engineering, full-stack development, and large-scale automation. He’s contributed to 100+ open-source repositories across 15 languages and has repeatedly automated complex CI/CD workflows—building multi-architecture Docker pipelines, Kubernetes refactors, and Terraform/ECS migrations. Nigel founded a consulting firm, led a next-generation Gradle-based build system for cross-platform scientific software, and reduced hosting costs through pragmatic automation at organizations like Lyrasis and Waters. He’s comfortable from low-level assembly debugging to designing resilient cloud infrastructure and even wrote Rust tools to streamline site migrations. Based in Strasbourg, he’s seeking a visa-sponsored full-time role in France and is notable for rapidly specializing when needed while maintaining a generalist’s breadth and curiosity.
