As Head of Operations at BMJ, Alex has been a driving force behind the company’s ongoing transformation and modernisation that has thus far seen the entire estate come under configuration management and move to a public/private hybrid-cloud platform.
The focus is now on automating provision and adopting an infrastructure-as-code model and
moving towards an immutable architecture, while consolidating and strengthening a DevOps culture that has already seen an improvement in outcomes born of better communication, collaboration, process, and the sharing of skills and responsibility.
Since 1997, Alex has moved from website design through simple CGI and JavaScript programming to multi-tier, web-based application design and build, all the while managing the hosting infrastructures on which they sat. Developing and running a site for the 1998 World Cup was an early exercise in scale that ignited his passion for web-operations.
As such, Alex has developed a holistic approach to the development and delivery of Internet-based systems that harmonises nicely with the current reign of DevOps.
