Summary
Tony Brown is a Technical Architect with 16 years of hands-on experience modernising legacy systems and designing cloud-native solutions, currently leading nib health funds' migration from on-prem to AWS using API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS and Kinesis. He started in electronics and embedded systems, bringing deep firmware and PCB experience to software problems and a pragmatic, reverse-engineering mindset for integrating long-lived Unix systems with modern Ruby/Rails web interfaces. Tony combines technical leadership with business analysis skills and an ability to produce clear deployment templates and documentation that accelerate internal teams. He is a professional member of ITPA and has a track record of delivering “outside-the-square” solutions for engineering and scientific customers as a director at a consultancy. Based in Newcastle-Maitland, he blends electrical/electronics training with cloud architecture fluency—a useful bridge when systems span hardware, low-level code and cloud services. Quietly, he favours tooling and automation that reduce operational friction, having built repeatable SAM-based deployment artifacts used across teams.
