AWS Meet-up Auckland, July 3rd

Hi everyone!

Please join us on Thursday the 3rd of July from 5.30pm.

Topic: Kiwibank's Journey to DevOps and DevSecOps at Scale
Join us at the July AWSAKL Meetup as Damian Kobylinski shares the story of how Kiwibank scaled DevOps and DevSecOps across the organisation.

This session will walk through the early foundations, the evolution of key capabilities, and the current state of Kiwibank’s modern software delivery platform.

Built on a broad suite of AWS services, the platform plays a critical role in enabling secure, rapid change across the enterprise. Learn how Kiwibank is using this platform to embed security, accelerate delivery, and empower teams to innovate with confidence.

Our speaker this month:
Damian Kobylinski, Head of Engineering Practice @ Kiwibank
Damian is a seasoned engineering leader who began his career in financial automation before transitioning into cloud computing around the time AWS launched in Sydney. With extensive experience designing and migrating platforms on AWS, Damian has spent the past 3.5 years at Kiwibank, where he has played a key role in improving developer experience as part of the Developer Platforms team. Now as Head of Engineering Practice, he drives enablement across and beyond engineering teams, with a focus on policies, frameworks, and standards.
