James Collins
University Student
Passionate about cloud infrastructure, containerisation, and automating everything that can be automated. Currently building skills in GCP, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. This site is itself a portfolio piece — deployed on GKE with Cloud Build.
Containers
Building and optimising Docker images. Multi-stage builds, security scanning, and container best practices.
Kubernetes
Deploying and managing applications on GKE. Deployments, Services, Ingress, health checks, and auto-scaling.
CI/CD
Automated pipelines with GitHub Actions and Google Cloud Build. From commit to production in minutes.
Cloud (GCP)
Google Cloud Platform — Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Build, Container Registry, IAM, and networking.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform for reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure. No more clicking through cloud consoles.
Monitoring
Prometheus, Grafana, and Cloud Monitoring. Because you can't fix what you can't see.
