Hello! I am Braedon Dillon. Cloud Architect and DevOps Specialist.
I'm passionate about providing innovative cloud infrastructure solutions. I have expertise in cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and I am experienced in designing and implementing scalable and secure cloud architecture.

I work on the Bell Media Cloud team. We are a platform team that works with tenants to assist in their cloud transition. I work primarily as a Cloud Architect but I am also a DevOps prime on my team. In this role I use tools including Terraform, Gitlab CI/CD and Ansible to automate infrastructure creation and application deployment.
August 2022 - January 2023
I worked on the SNL Infra and DevOps team supporting several large channels such as CTV and TSN. In this role I created a large variety of Gitlab pipelines and helped create processes to simplify creation of future pipelines. I also used Terraform and Ansible to help deploy application and this began my journey to the Cloud
May 2022 - August 2022
I worked with the Security Operations Center (SOC) with a focus on DevOps for security tools development. I created Gitlab pipelines to automate the deployment of new releases and created a variety of custom Docker images to support application requirements. While in this position I also noticed a potential internal security issue and spearheaded a transition to HashiCorp Vault for secret management.
