Certifications¶
Professional Certifications
Credentials that support real platform work.
These are not presented as a stack of badges. They mark the areas where I have had to make architecture, operations, and delivery decisions in production: cloud design, Kubernetes platforms, enterprise container infrastructure, and technical product delivery.
Resilient, secure, and cost-aware infrastructure design.
Container platforms that need to survive production use.
Shared language for product trade-offs and team execution.
Core Credentials
Technical validation aligned with the work I do.
Amazon Web Services
AWS Certified Solutions Architect
Validates architecture patterns for secure, resilient cloud systems: compute, networking, storage, identity, availability, and cost control.
Cloud Native Computing Foundation
Certified Kubernetes Administrator
Covers the operational core of Kubernetes: cluster lifecycle, scheduling, networking, storage, troubleshooting, and workload reliability.
Red Hat
OpenShift Administration Specialist
Enterprise Kubernetes administration with the controls and platform services expected in regulated or large-organisation environments.
Applied Context
The useful part is where the credential meets production constraints.
Balancing security, reliability, cost, compliance, and operability rather than optimising for a single exam domain.
Working with failure modes, upgrades, network paths, storage behaviour, and platform ownership models.
Turning infrastructure choices into a sequence teams can build, operate, and explain to stakeholders.
Delivery Credentials
Useful when platform work crosses team and product boundaries.
Scrum.org
Professional Scrum Master I
Supports team facilitation, delivery discipline, and clearer execution around complex infrastructure work.
Scrum.org
Professional Scrum Product Owner I
Helps frame platform work through user value, stakeholder priority, and sustainable delivery sequencing.
Earlier Milestone
A foundation that has since been reinforced by production work.
Amazon Web Services
AWS Solutions Architect
Earlier cloud architecture credential that sits behind later work across research infrastructure, telco cloud, OpenStack, Kubernetes, and security-oriented platform design.
