Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLee Porte is a Senior SRE/DevOps engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating resilient, secure cloud platforms and CI/CD pipelines for public and private sector organisations. He has led SRE teams at GOV.UK PaaS—driving GDPR and security compliance, large-scale email throughput during COVID-19, and Prometheus/Grafana observability—and most recently served as Senior SRE at Nationwide before joining Hive. Comfortable across AWS, Terraform, Concourse, Cloud Foundry and container orchestration, he combines platform strategy with hands-on automation, infrastructure-as-code and application development in Go, Node.js and Ruby. Lee’s pragmatic approach comes from broad operator experience—from colo hardware and network firewalls to VPS-hosted labs—where he continuously experiments with home lab stacks to validate new technologies. He’s skilled at translating operational requirements into auditable, business-aligned systems and has repeatedly removed “pets” from infrastructure to enable repeatable automation. Based in Harborough, England, he pairs systems craftsmanship with a persistent curiosity that surfaces practical innovations.
