@davidomokhodion
DevOps/Cloud engineer building secure CI/CD, Kubernetes platforms, and cost-optimized infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I’m a DevOps/Cloud Engineer with 6+ years’ experience delivering enterprise-grade infrastructure across AWS and Azure. I’m known for building CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment time by up to 60%, while embedding security into every layer of the delivery pipeline.
In my recent role, I managed Kubernetes at scale (EKS & AKS), implemented Istio with Helm, and applied advanced auto-scaling to maintain a 99.9% SLO. I also built centralized observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and ELK Stack—reducing downtime by 50% and improving real-time visibility. On the security side, I enforced IAM policies, SSO/MFA, RBAC, KMS, and secrets management with HashiCorp Vault and AWS Secrets Manager, strengthening compliance posture.
I lead cloud cost optimization using FinOps practices—right-sizing resources and automating where possible to reduce multi-cloud costs by 20%. I’ve driven monolith-to-microservices migrations, automated incident response to reduce MTTR by 35%, and shifted security left by integrating SAST and dependency scanning (SonarQube, Snyk) into CI/CD. I bring end-to-end ownership of multi-cloud architecture, from IaC with Terraform to Kubernetes orchestration, observability, and performance tuning.
