Cloud / DevOps / Platform Engineering
Dishen Patel
I build secure cloud platforms and reliable delivery systems.
I work across AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, GitOps and CI/CD, with an emphasis on security, repeatability and operational clarity.
I focus on building production-style AWS platforms, automating secure software delivery and documenting the operational decisions and troubleshooting behind each system.
Selected work
Engineering in practice
Infrastructure, delivery and security work designed around real operational concerns.
ECS Fargate Order Fulfillment Platform
A nine-service order platform using private Fargate tasks, Service Connect, SQS/DLQ, PostgreSQL and Redis, with path-scoped OIDC pipelines, Trivy scanning and CloudWatch observability.
AI-Driven Cloud Security Research
My MSc research combined AWS log preprocessing, Isolation Forest anomaly detection and IAM-specific rules to investigate credential abuse and privilege escalation.

About
From data to dependable infrastructure.
I have a BSc in Mathematics & Statistics from The Open University and an MSc in Data Science with Distinction from Queen Mary University of London.
During my studies and cloud-security research, I realised I preferred building and operating the systems behind the analysis. I enjoy setting up infrastructure, automating deployments and troubleshooting why something isn’t working—not just analysing the output.
That’s why I’m pursuing Cloud, DevOps and Platform Engineering: I want to build systems that are reliable, secure and easier to run, using my analytical background to diagnose problems and make sound technical decisions.
Beyond engineering
A decade at the crease.
I’ve played cricket for more than 10 years and also coach privately. Training, competition and helping other players develop are an important part of my life outside technology.
I’ve represented the First XIs of South Hampstead CC, Harrow Town CC, Brondesbury CC and Tring Park CC. I currently play for Acton CC’s First XI.
