What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages learning, and offers opportunities for career growth.

I am a versatile engineer with a strong background in IT automation, scripting, and cloud infrastructure. My expertise lies in Python, Bash, and Docker, where I have successfully built automation tools, integrated APIs, and deployed containerized applications across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I am passionate about streamlining IT operations through elegant and scalable automation solutions.

Throughout my career, I have developed various software projects, including a Payment Certificate Automation System and a Freelancer Timesheet & Payment Automation web app. These projects not only improved operational efficiency but also enhanced decision-making processes for engineering teams. My experience in Ubuntu Server administration and database design further complements my technical skill set, allowing me to manage complex IT environments effectively.

Currently, I am leading building services design and infrastructure projects at Emcon Consulting Group in Windhoek, Namibia. My role involves developing Python automations for internal dashboards and administering Ubuntu Server environments. I am committed to continuous learning and improvement, always seeking new technologies to enhance my work and contribute to my team's success.
