Background

About James Rudd

I’m a cybersecurity and cloud professional with a background that spans DevOps, platform security, and cloud infrastructure, underpinned by a degree in Electrical Engineering that taught me how to break down complex problems and find practical solutions. Moving through roles as a DevOps Engineer and Senior Platform Security Engineer has given me a well-rounded view of how secure, scalable systems are built and maintained. I work across AWS and Azure, with Kubernetes being a particular strength, both in container development and cluster administration. I’m comfortable getting hands-on with code when it’s needed, with Go and Python being my go-to languages, and I lean heavily on Terraform to manage infrastructure the right way. Security for me isn’t a layer you add at the end, it runs through everything from pipeline design to cloud architecture, and I’m always looking for ways to make it work with engineering teams rather than against them.
