> Auditing, migrating and safely closing down a legacy AWS estate.

Brought in to deal with a legacy AWS environment after the business had moved on from needing it. I audited what was actually there, confirmed what data had to be kept or migrated - including custom Go tooling to bulk-migrate artwork images into a new CMS - and then closed the account down in a structured, safe order. Decommissioning done properly is due diligence in reverse.
