I’m a Cloud/DevOps Engineer with over five years of experience designing, implementing, and managing resilient server infrastructures and scalable storage solutions. I focus on delivering high availability and operational excellence through Kubernetes, Terraform, Azure, AWS, and modern CI/CD pipelines.

In my current role as DevOps Lead at Nexus Grid, I architect and run production-grade Kubernetes infrastructure on AKS, ensuring seamless scalability for critical services. I spearhead deployment strategies for PostgreSQL and virtual machines using Azure DevOps and Ansible, while standardizing automation with Terraform and GitHub Actions. I also integrate monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana to detect bottlenecks early, and I lead incident response to maintain 99.9% uptime for key client environments.

Previously, as DevOps Team Lead at MTN Nigeria, I led Azure DevOps and infrastructure work across the full lifecycle of AVD environments. I built multi-stage CI/CD pipelines to improve reliability and reduce downtime, and I drove Azure cost governance using Azure Advisor and custom reporting. I also strengthened security and resilience through solutions like Citrix NetScaler and by integrating strong observability with Datadog and reconfigured agents for full-stack visibility.

Before that, as an Infrastructure Engineer at IXPN (Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria), I supported and expanded ACI resources, automated routing and network configuration (IBGP/EBGP), and secured exchange infrastructure with BGP protections and network security controls. Across AWS and Azure, I provisioned multi-cloud infrastructure with Terraform and CloudFormation, streamlined provisioning with Ansible, and improved portability by modernizing legacy workloads with Docker and Kubernetes.
