Morgan Peat
London, United Kingdom
A technical manager with over 20 years’ experience in financial services technology delivering software solutions and, more recently, a public cloud platform. I have a friendly, calm manner and am keen to mentor and coach technical talent. I am a hands-on engineer at heart who loves to understand the detail but I enjoy seeing the big picture, setting and driving the technical strategy and direction.

Google Cloud Adoption
Helping internal customers adopt on to Google Cloud as part of the LBG Cloud Centre of Excellence.
NatWest Group Full-time
Aug 2020 - Jun 2021 (10 months)
Head of GCP Platform Engineering
I manage a team of 15 DevOps engineers which implemented and maintain an enterprise-level cloud platform in GCP. I have responsibility for backlog prioritisation, cost control, vendor liaison and I manage the relationship with internal customers.
The platform is designed to transform application teams to a cloud-native way of working by offering safe and secure adoption of public cloud services using off-the-shelf infrastructure patterns. This gives developers the ability to manage their own infrastructure, at scale, within automated guardrails.
I steer the technical direction of the team, oversee design and code reviews and perform hands-on development. I balance the aim of full self-service with the pragmatic need for fast delivery, low cost and enterprise-level security.

Cloud Adoption and IaC Pipeline - Cloud Platform Engineering
Jan 2019 - Aug 2020 (1 year 7 months)
IaC Pipeline Product Owner
I was responsible for the design and implementation of the IaC pipeline for the NatWest Markets GCP platform using a toolchain comprised of Terraform Enterprise, Hashicorp Vault, Gitlab, Packer and Artifactory.
I implemented an approach where users could provision and operate their own infrastructure and platform setup using a pipeline that is defined in code, automated and self-service. Appropriate guardrails guarantee that the end-to-end pipeline and infrastructure are safe and secure.
I worked with InfoSec and Risk & Controls functions to ensure the IaC pipeline meets all internal and regulatory requirements while remaining largely self-service and agile enough to operate at scale.
I helped to define, implement and promote standard infrastructure patterns used to enable change at scale. Patterns included a project factory, FinOps labelling governance and an IaaS "bakery" where teams could create their own images in a secure, self-service manner.
Head of Cloud Adoption Team
Led a team of 8 senior DevOps engineers driving adoption of the cloud platform through NatWest Markets technology. I on-boarded application teams into the platform and "held hands" to train and guide developers as they adopted Infrastructure-as-Code and cloud-native behaviours.
As head of this team I was the interface between the Platform Engineering team and the bank's application development community and built successful working relationships with senior stakeholders and external vendors.
