Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter West is a seasoned technical lead with over 30 years in IT and eight years focused on platform, SRE and cloud engineering, currently leading Capgemini’s Collaborative Tooling Team for the Atlassian suite. He brings deep hands-on experience automating infrastructure and deployments with Terraform, AWS (VPC, EC2, RDS, OpenSearch), Kubernetes, and scripting in Python, Bash and PowerShell, and a proven track record of removing toil and improving reliability. His background spans server and data-center operations, application development and tooling—having modernized legacy systems, built user-facing automation, and accelerated slow reporting workflows early in his career. Comfortable both leading teams and working solo, he pairs strong troubleshooting instincts with clear communication and a pragmatic focus on Infrastructure as Code and repeatable processes. A detail that often surprises colleagues: he transitioned from Visual Basic and on-prem server automation to cloud-native SRE practices, earning AWS certifications while driving production-grade observability and CI/CD solutions.
