Brenden Cruikshank

Hi, I’m Brenden Cruikshank, a Cloud and DevSecOps Engineer based in Brisbane, Australia.

I’ve built and scaled cloud solutions using AWS’s comprehensive suite of services, specialising in infrastructure as code with Terraform, CloudFormation, and AWS CDK. My expertise extends to serverless architectures, ai integration, and implementing robust DevSecOps practices that enhance security and automation.

Leading DevSecOps at Australian Payments Plus, I architect and implement security-enhanced DevOps and cloud solutions for Australia’s essential payment platforms – Beem, BPAY, and Eftpos. My role combines cloud architecture, site reliability engineering (SRE), and ai innovation to deliver secure, automated, and resilient payment systems that serve millions of Australians.

Over the years, I’ve made several attempts to start a blog, and this is my latest endeavour.
