Summary
🤩
RockstarTim Knight is a lead consultant and hands-on software delivery specialist with roughly four years in senior roles driving secure, cloud-native CI/CD at scale for public-sector and commercial clients. He blends T-shaped full-stack development (Java, Node, Python, React) with deep DevOps and GitLab CI expertise, having led DWP’s migration to a dedicated GitLab instance and built OCI-compliant, Docker-less container pipelines. Known as a mentor and engineering leader, he creates repeatable tooling and shared CI patterns that reduce maintenance overhead across thousands of repositories. He has a track record of embedding security early—automating secret rotation, vulnerability scanning, and real-time remediation tied into GitLab and Chainguard integrations. Outside work he volunteers in high-stakes operational roles (vaccinator, first aid at the London Marathon) and runs social media and design for Britain’s largest roller derby tournament, reflecting a practical, people-first approach to leadership.
