Paul Pogonoski
Senior SRE@Commonwealth Bank of Australia
Verified
An IT Professional with very extensive experience in Cloud, DevOps, SRE, Agile, API’s, Multiple Coding Languages, Strategy, Security, and Digital Transformation.
I’ve recently returned from almost 10 years in the UK. Due to circumstances, most of this time was spent in the DevOps discipline. However, there were times when I still needed to utilise my development and architectural skills. The majority of my career has been as a Developer or Solution Architect, predominantly with C++, Java. Although, the Open Source projects I have in GitHub have used Typescript, Golang, and Python.
I've extensive experience in Managing and promoting Agile teams, both in Software Product organisations and service delivery organisations. Mostly DevOps, Full-stack MVC, Microservices, and API’s. This applies not only to “green Field” development, but migrations and transitions, also.
In addition, I have demonstrated the ability to absorb and utilise new technologies quickly and to great effect. Which is evidenced in that I have been able to use the latest AWS offerings to design and lead the build of a new, multi-Account AWS Architecture that is completely automated, including DR.
I have an interest in moving security concerns in IT into the Development phase of the application lifecycle by marrying it with other DevOps practices.
I love to share my knowledge and passionate about seeing others prosper with my help and knowledge with my “Teach a man to Fish” approach to mentoring.More...
