Summary
Ruben Decleyn is a Technical Lead Platform Engineer with 10 years’ experience designing and operating cloud-native infrastructure, currently leading platform work at Experian from his base in Nottingham. He specializes in AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Vault and HashiCorp tools, driving PoCs, architecture decisions, and multi-region migrations while acting as SME and escalation contact for high-severity incidents. A security-first engineer and AWS/Slack/Jira champion, he builds pragmatic automation—most notably a widely used in-house Bash/SQLite CLI (being ported to Rust) that reduces repetitive tasks from hours to minutes. Ruben combines hands-on scripting (Bash, NodeJS) with platform-level thinking to create fast, minimal-footprint, scalable systems and routinely enforces quality via peer reviews and architectural boards. He prefers fully remote, permanent roles and looks for positions where his skills are valued beyond a checkbox hire.
