Hi, I’m Lucy Paul, a DevOps Engineer with experience in business intelligence and platform engineering. I focus on automation, cloud-native tooling, and reliable, scalable infrastructure, with hands-on work across Python, Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitLab. I recently transitioned into a Product Owner role at Lloyds Banking Group to streamline pipeline tooling and decommission federated solutions, and I’m eager to return to development work with a strong automation and delivery mindset. Outside of work, I enjoy mentoring and sharing knowledge, such as leading introductory Python training sessions for Code First Girls, and building reusable automation to help teams move faster and safer.
