Benjamin Mallon

Fractional Head of Cloud & Infrastructure Engineering

Outcomes Delivered

  • Scaled engineering organisations to support high-velocity development without configuration regression.
  • Established foundational multi-cloud architecture and organizational governance frameworks.
  • Reduced structural risk through systemic infrastructure standardisation and engineering alignment.

Ideal for technical founders needing experienced executive leadership during rapid scaling windows, platform transformations, or critical leadership vacancies.

Technology Strategy & Cloud Transformation Roadmaps

Strategic Execution

  • Audited deeply complex, fragmented multi-cloud topologies to establish clear architectural baselines.
  • Translated complex technical realities into clear, board-level commercial growth roadmaps.
  • Standardised developer platform architectures to systematically lower technical debt and accelerate delivery cycles.

Ideal for organisations seeking to align technical platform execution directly with long-term enterprise growth objectives.

Engineering Operating Model & SRE Transformation

Operational Infrastructure

  • Aligned internal engineering FTEs and external software agencies around unified engineering outcomes.
  • Dismantled organizational friction by setting distinct, enforceable ownership and architectural boundaries.
  • Embedded metrics-driven Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices to eliminate system downtime.

Ideal for engineering operations struggling with cross-team delivery bottlenecks, configuration drift, or unstable production states.

Multi-Cloud Well-Architected & Resiliency Assessments

Risk Assessment Framework

  • Executed comprehensive, provider-agnostic health audits mapped directly against AWS, Azure, and GCP benchmarks.
  • Evaluated system states across the 5 core pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, and Cost Optimization.
  • Isolated critical vulnerabilities to systematically mitigate structural threat vectors and cloud spend overruns.

Ideal for enterprise investment boards undertaking technical due diligence or leaders validating platform stability ahead of scaling benchmarks.

Agentic Engineering Operations & Digital Twin Architecture

Autonomous Operations

  • Architected autonomous, LLM-driven operational pipelines to multiply technical leadership output.
  • Connected advanced reasoning models directly to repository states, asynchronous ingest streams, and GitHub Actions.
  • Automated high-friction operational workflows including engineering triage, standard compliance reporting, and diagnostic profiling.

Ideal for technical organizations looking to integrate advanced agentic automation directly into their core engineering fabric.
