+Magdalen Medical Publishing: August 2023 – Present
+My responsibilities at MMP haven't fundamentally shifted since my promotion, but I've taken on + leadership roles in several projects aimed at enhancing our platform's architecture. Notably, I + spearheaded the initiative to streamline our infrastructure by deploying the six journals as separate + Docker containers from a unified repository onto AWS. This initiative significantly enhanced the + workflow for our development team, allowing us to host the sites locally in Docker containers from a + centralized repository. Through this project, I've honed my expertise with AWS and Docker, and I'm + eager to apply these skills to similar projects, such as optimizing the Gatsby sites I developed + earlier.
