Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Dakin is an experienced Cloud Administrator and DevOps engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience managing large-scale cloud environments across AWS (including China), Azure and GCP from Montreal. At Ubisoft Montréal he oversees governance, billing and security for 2000+ cloud accounts and drives automation, account standardization and hybrid networking across 40+ studios, blending infrastructure-as-code with custom APIs and ChatOps. He pairs deep platform knowledge (Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Docker) with backend development in Python and Go to build CI/CD, monitoring and hosting solutions that scale for high-traffic e-commerce and gaming services. Previously a lead back-end developer, he brings strong operational discipline from building Ansible-driven provisioning and one-click deploy workflows for web platforms. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, security-minded cloud governance and for turning complex hybrid-cloud requirements into repeatable, automated processes. An uncommon strength is his experience operating across multiple cloud regions and commercial boundaries (including AWS China), which informs practical, enterprise-grade multi-cloud strategies.
