Tag Enforcement GitHub Action | Python, Docker, GitHub Actions
Pre-deployment tag compliance enforcement preventing cost attribution gaps across AWS infrastructure. Validates 25+ resource types with configurable YAML rules, posts detailed PR feedback with exact violations.
Currently being evaluated alongside Checkov, OPA, and tfsec for tag compliance.

I solve organizational problems, not just technical tasks:
- Identify systematic gaps: manual processes that don't scale
- Build automated solutions: tooling that enforces best practices
- Enable adoption: optimise developer experience for minimal friction
- Measure impact: £ saved, risks prevented, time recovered
