Developer III | Delivery Engineering at Allan Gray Proprietary Limited

• Research, develop and implement approaches to allow automated and isolated testing against legacy and 3rd party systems. 
• Maintain and support the CI/CD infrastructure, including Kubernetes, Gitlab and in-house tooling. 
• Build out CI/CD processes to improve test isolation and performance. Actively work to improve our tools and processes to increase overall developer efficiency.
