What I'm looking for

I’m open to hybrid or remote roles in Gauteng and am not looking to relocate. I’m available immediately.

At Independent / Self-employed, I delivered CI/CD, deployment, and monitoring stacks for a security firm and an organisation management provider. I built GitHub Actions pipelines to automate releases and set up Prometheus and Grafana dashboards and alert rules.

At The Data Company, I built AWS EKS infrastructure in Terraform to support 24 microservices across two environments. I also wrote and maintained much of the Azure DevOps pipeline code for building, containerising, and deploying the platform, and wrote Terraform to move Azure web application infrastructure into code.

Earlier, I built Spring Boot applications and REST APIs at Ideal Solution, and Java applications for fin-tech and insurance clients at The Data Company. I’m a Certified Kubernetes Administrator, and I’m comfortable working from infrastructure code through to application and database performance.
