WHAT I WORK ON
Practical technical support where it matters
Direct, hands-on support across infrastructure, automation and technical change. The aim is always the same: make complex systems clearer, more repeatable and easier to support.
01
02Infrastructure as Code
Use Terraform to make infrastructure repeatable, reviewable and easier to manage across environments.

Work grounded in real technical environments
Client details remain confidential, but the problems, responsibilities and outcomes reflect work I have genuinely delivered.
01
Cloud migration · Consumer business
Moving complex application environments into AWS
The work required understanding dependencies across infrastructure and applications, creating repeatable environments and making migration activity visible to the teams involved.

HOW I WORK
Understand first. Automate carefully. Leave things clearer.
Understand the environment
Before proposing changes, I take time to understand the systems, dependencies and operational processes already in place.
Reduce repetitive work
I look for practical opportunities to remove manual steps, reduce errors and make routine work easier to repeat.
Keep it maintainable
I favour clear, supportable solutions over unnecessary complexity, using tools the responsible team can continue to manage.
Document and hand over
Key decisions, processes and dependencies are recorded so that knowledge remains useful after the work is complete.
AI & INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION
From weeks of work to a controlled workflow
AI becomes useful when it can move work forward—not simply produce another answer in a chat window.
Alani Tech is building with AI agents, structured workflows and integrations that gather context, prepare decisions, create outputs and coordinate actions across existing tools. Human approval remains part of the system wherever judgement or accountability matters.
