Lead Engineer
Origin Amenity Solutions - Based at Agrigem
Origin Amenity Solutions supplies turf care and plant health products to greenkeepers, grounds managers, and local authorities across the UK. It also owns MachineKeeper, a SaaS platform for equipment inspections, and the legacy TurfKeeper platform, which together serve thousands of golf courses across Europe and tens of thousands of users.
Infrastructure was Ansible and Terraform across Google Cloud, Azure, and Cloudflare, with Laravel on the application side and CI/CD pipelines across both.
I was brought in as the sole engineer to build MachineKeeper from scratch, owning the engineering function and reporting into the leadership team. I introduced Git, CI/CD, and standard backups to the business, ran backup servers across providers behind Cloudflare to prevent downtime, managed the external teams we worked with, and migrated TurfKeeper from unmanaged Azure VMs onto infrastructure as code in Google Cloud.
