"I'm Joyson, currently a Cloud Operations Engineer at the Royal Horticultural Society. Day to day I work across AWS and Azure in a hybrid cloud setup, focused on observability, security hardening to CIS benchmarks, and platform reliability. Before RHS I spent three years at Airinmar managing hybrid AWS EKS and on-premises infrastructure alongside VMware, networking, and CI/CD pipelines. I'm a CNCF Kubestronaut and AWS Community Builder.

- Platform / DevOps: "What drew me to this role is the platform-engineering scope at scale — building tooling that other engineering teams consume, which is where I want to focus next."
- Cloud Engineer (Lead Forensics-style): "What drew me to this role is the hybrid AWS-Azure shape and the cloud transformation work — which matches both my day-to-day and where I want to go next."
