KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a DevOps Engineer with 7 years of experience in information technology, specializing in system and network administration. I’ve managed and automated cloud and on-premise infrastructures, deployed and maintained applications and services, and responded to incidents with a strong focus on reliability.
I also implemented CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment efficiency and collaborated with development teams to optimize application performance. Before that, I supported day-to-day operations as a System and Network Administrator—administering servers and networks, managing backups and security, and maintaining network infrastructures.
For the past 4 years, I’ve worked as an AI Trainer alongside my engineering role, generating accurately labeled data for training NLP algorithms. I rated and analyzed AI responses for accuracy, language, quality, truthfulness, harmfulness, and cultural appropriateness—then used detailed feedback to help developers improve model behavior.
