Top SchoolSebastian Blask is a Senior Software Engineer based in Wellington with 12 years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure and distributed systems, primarily in Python. He has a strong track record of modernising AWS environments—moving organisations to multi-account setups, replacing Control Tower with Terraform, and automating CI/CD and security scanning. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs infrastructure-as-code and Python lambdas with experience in data visualisation and microservices, and enjoys working in agile teams to deliver pragmatic, simple solutions. Known for preferring Linux, ZSH and Neovim, he blends hands-on engineering with an eye for operational reliability and repeatable automation. An understated strength is his history of migrating complex services and identity management across large environments, reducing operational friction while improving security.
