What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow my skills in cloud technologies and DevOps practices.

I am a dedicated DevOps Engineer with extensive experience in orchestrating scalable architectures and automating infrastructure across Kubernetes and cloud platforms. My proven track record includes enhancing security and optimizing workflows through strategic application of industry frameworks. I have successfully implemented PCI DSS compliant solutions and improved deployment efficiency, eager to leverage my expertise in cloud and on-premises environments to drive transformative outcomes.

At Onafriq, I implemented a PCI DSS 4.0 compliant load balancer, increasing availability and fortifying security for on-premises external web servers. I also deployed QA and production EKS clusters, ensuring compliance with Cloud Security Alliance guidelines and AWS Well-Architected Framework. My role involved developing PostgreSQL database solutions and upgrading GitLab CI/CD pipelines, which significantly reduced deployment times and improved scalability.

Previously, I worked at Quoble/Galt and AIFIAI-Powered Autonomous Retail Stores, where I automated Azure VM operations and deployed Kubernetes clusters, enhancing deployment efficiency and reducing downtime. My experience as a Systems Engineer and Physical Electronic Security Technician has equipped me with a unique blend of technical skills and leadership capabilities, making me a valuable asset to any team.
